Minerals are essential inorganic nutrients required for maintaining normal body functions. They are classified into macrominerals and trace minerals (microminerals), and are involved in various physiological functions such as bone and tooth formation, nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and enzyme activity. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has established dietary reference intakes for 13 types of minerals, and balanced intake is important for maintaining health.
