Trace element glossary

Minerals and trace elements differ mainly in the quantities they can be found in the organism. Owing to their higher quantities, minerals are easier to find, while trace elements can be detected in traces only, there is only very little of them in our body. This is where their names originate. Minerals are macro elements, while trace elements can also be called micronutrients.
