”We now divide essential minerals into macro minerals, which are those we need in excess of a hundred milligrams per day to avoid symptoms of deficiency, and trace minerals, which are those we need in much smaller amounts, one to one hundred milligrams per day to avoid symptoms of deficiency. Macrominerals include sodium, chloride, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium. Trace minerals include copper, chromium, iodine, iron, molybdenum, manganese, selenium and zinc.” – Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, Nutrivore, p.110
