    essential nutrients needed in tiny amounts for bodily functions

    Trace elements, also known as micronutrients or trace minerals, are essential nutrients required by the body in very small amounts for various physiological functions. These elements, such as iron, zinc, and selenium, play critical roles in processes like enzyme function, hormone production, and maintaining the health of skin, hair, and nails. Despite their minute quantities, deficiencies or imbalances in trace elements can lead to significant health issues.
