Macrominerals are also known as macroelements, and bulk minerals. They are dietary minerals needed by the human body in high quantities(generally more than 100mg/day) as opposed to microminerals (trace elements) which are only required in very small amounts.nce a plant source utilizes minerals from the ground, they are digested, making them ionic or electrical in nature. This makes it easier for the body to assimilate and use the minerals at a cellular level. Subsequently, they are not stored or deposited somewhere else in the body.
