Question

Is sodium a trace mineral?


Open in App
Solution

No sodium is not a trace mineral.

  1. Calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and sulphur are the primary minerals that the body uses and stores in substantial amounts.
  2. Trace minerals are equally as important to our health as major minerals, yet we don't require vast amounts. Chromium, copper, fluoride, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc are examples of minerals in this category.
