What it is

Trace minerals are naturally occurring elements found in small amounts in the earth's crust, soil, and water. They are essential for many bodily functions in humans and animals. In food production, they are often added to purified water or beverages to enhance their mineral content.

Why it's used

Trace minerals are added to foods and beverages primarily to increase their nutritional value, acting as a nutrient fortification. They are commonly found in enhanced waters, electrolyte drinks, and some juices, where they contribute to the product's claimed health benefits or taste profile.

Health notes

Trace minerals are essential nutrients. The FDA considers many trace minerals as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various trace minerals. While essential, excessive intake of certain trace minerals can be harmful, but this is rarely a concern with typical food consumption.

Allergen info

Trace minerals are not derived from the nine FDA major allergens and are not a source of gluten.
