    Macrominerals, also known as major elements, are minerals required in large amounts and used for structural tissue synthesis. Their concentrations are expressed as percentages. The main macrominerals are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, and sodium. Microminerals, also called trace elements, are required in trace amounts and serve as enzyme activators or components. Their concentrations are expressed in parts per million. The main microminerals are iron, iodine, cobalt, copper, chromium, manganese, vanadium, nickel, selenium, zinc, molybdenum, fluorine, and silicon. The document then lists common deficiency diseases associated with calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron,

    1.

    Macrominerals or the major elements are minerals that is required in large


    amount. Most of this minerals used for the synthesis of structural tissue of the
    body. Its concentration is expressed through percentage. These minerals are
    Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Potassium, Sulphur, and Sodium. On the other hand,
    Microminerals or the trace elemements are minerals that is required in trace
    amounts. This minerals serves as activators or components of the enzyme system. Its
    concentration is expressed through ppm (parts per million). These minerals are the
    following; Iron, Iodine, Cobalt, Copper, Chronium, Manganese, Vanadium, Nickel,
    Selenium, Zinc, Molybdenum, Fluorine, and silicon.
    2. Calcium - Rickets and Osteoporosis
    Phosphorus- Pica and Osteomalacia
    Magnesium- Hypomagnesimia and Grass tetany
    Iron- Anemia and
    Copper- Enzootic Ataxia and Swayback
    Iodine- Goitre and Cretinism
    Cobalt- Enzootic maramus and normocytic anemia
    Zinc- Parakeratosis
    Manganese- Perosis (slipped tendon)
    Fluorine- Dental Caries
    Selenium- Hepatosis dietica and white muscle disease
