throughout life in small quantities to orchestrate a whole range of
physiological functions, but which the organism itself cannot produce. For
people, they include dietary minerals in amounts generally less than 100
micrograms/day - as opposed to macrominerals which are required in larger
quantities. The microminerals or trace elements include:
iron, cobalt, chromium, copper[2]
, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and mol
ybdenum. Micronutrients also include vitamins, which are organic
compounds required as nutrients in tiny amounts by an organism.
