The Trace Minerals – An
Overview
• Trace mineral contents of foods
• Vary with soil and water composition, and food
processing
• Deficiencies
• Can affect people of all ages
• May be difficult to recognize
• Toxicities
• FDA does not regulate trace minerals in
supplements

needs
• Sometimes lead to nutrient imbalances

Stepped Art Iron absorption process
If the body
does not
need iron Iron is not absorbed and is excreted in shed intestinal cells instead. Thus, iron absorption is reduced when the body does not need iron.
If the body
needs iron
Mucosal cells in the intestine store excess iron in mucosal ferritin (a storage protein).
Iron in food
Mucosal ferritin releases iron to mucosal transferrin (a transport protein), which hands off iron to another transferrin that travels through the blood to the rest of the body.

Stepped Art - Heme and nonheme iron in
foods
Heme accounts for about
10% of the average daily
iron intake, but it is well
absorbed (about 25%).
Nonheme iron accounts
for the remaining 90%,
but it is less well
absorbed (about 17%).
About 40% of the
iron in meat, fish,
and poultry is
bound into heme;
the other 60% is
nonheme iron.
All of the iron in
foods derived from
plants is nonheme
iron.

Stepped Art
Some iron delivered to myoglobin of muscle cells
Some losses if bleeding occurs
Iron-containing hemoglobin in red blood cells carries oxygen.
Transferrin carries iron in blood.
Some losses via sweat, skin, and urine
Bone marrow incorporates iron into hemoglobin of red blood cells and stores excess iron in ferritin (and hemosiderin).
Liver (and spleen) dismantles
red blood cells, packages
iron into transferrin, and
stores excess iron in ferritin
(and hemosiderin).

Stepped Art -
Enteropancreatic circulation of zinc.
If the body
needs zinc
If the body
does not
need zinc Mucosal cells in
the intestine store
excess zinc in
metallothionein.
Zinc is not absorbed and is excreted in shed intestinal cells instead. Thus, zinc absorption is reduced when the body does not need zinc.
Metallothionein releases
zinc to albumin and
transferrin for transport
to the rest of the body.
Zinc in food
The pancreas uses
zinc to make digestive
enzymes and secretes
them into the intestine.
