Minerals are substances that come from the soil or water and are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals. Our bodies require various types of minerals to grow and stay healthy. Some minerals, like calcium and magnesium are required in larger amounts. Others, such as copper, selenium, iron, zinc and iodine are required in smaller amounts and therefore called trace minerals.
