Your body is a complex electrical system, and it runs on minerals.
Macro minerals (or major minerals) are metallic elements your body needs in larger quantities — think calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. These elements play critical roles in nerve conduction, muscle contraction, hydration balance, and bone structure. Without adequate levels, entire systems begin to fail.
Micro minerals (or trace elements) are needed in much smaller amounts — but they’re no less essential. This group includes zinc, selenium, iron, copper, manganese, and even certain metalloids like boron.
Though present in tiny concentrations, these elements serve as cofactors in enzymatic reactions, and regulate oxidative stress at the cellular level.
The key difference lies not in importance, but in dosage. Both types of minerals are vital for health, but macro minerals are required in gram-level amounts, while micro minerals function effectively at the milligram or microgram level.
In an age of depleted soil and processed foods, mineral imbalance is common, and it often flies under the radar. Replenishing both major metallic elements and trace metalloids is essential to restoring metabolic function, energy, and resilience.
Are you making sure to get enough minerals in your diet?
