Nutritionists use the term macromineral to describe the minerals your body needs in large amounts, such as calcium and magnesium.
Minerals needed in only small amounts, generally less than 20 milligrams per day, are called trace minerals:
Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Fluoride, Molybdenum, Iodine, Chromium, and Selenium.
