Minerals are grouped as macrominerals and trace minerals. Macrominerals are those found in larger quantities in the body and needed in larger amounts in the diet. Calcium and phosphorus are two of the seven macrominerals that we need in our diets.
Trace minerals are found in small quantities in the body and are needed in small amounts in the diet. We need to include nine trace minerals in our diets, including iron and zinc.
