Microminerals are trace elements that include iron, cobalt, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and molybdenum. Trace minerals are elements that are nutrients (typically dietary minerals) that your body needs only in tiny amounts, and trace elements, such as nickel, tin and vanadium, are very important despite their low levels.

Minerals such as manganese, chromium, copper, molybdenum, zinc and other heavy metals, among others, are usually considered trace minerals. These minerals (and others) when consumed in larger quantities can be quite harmful (as they are not water soluble), but small amounts are needed on a molecular level for overall good health. Most high-end vitamins include these items.
