Minerals keep your bones, muscles, heart and brain working properly, and help make enzymes and hormones.

KindHow much you needExamples

Trace mineralssmall amountsiron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, selenium

  • Food first: most people get the minerals they need from a varied diet.
  • Supplements: sometimes a doctor recommends one.
  • Limits: some health problems and medicines mean you need less of a mineral — people with chronic kidney disease, for example, must limit foods high in potassium.
