Macrominerals (also known as macroelements or bulk minerals) are macronutrients that are chemical elements. They include calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. They are dietary minerals needed by the human body in high quantities (generally more than 100 mg/day) as opposed to microminerals (trace elements) which are only required in very small amounts.
