This statement is generally false. Both vitamins and minerals are classified as micronutrients, meaning they are required by the body in relatively small amounts compared to macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. While some minerals (such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, and potassium) are needed in larger amounts—referred to as major minerals—others (like iron, zinc, and selenium) are needed in trace amounts. Similarly, vitamins are needed in minute quantities, typically milligrams or micrograms per day. Therefore, it is inaccurate to broadly state that minerals are needed in larger quantities than vitamins; instead, both are micronutrients with varying specific requirements, but collectively they are needed in much smaller quantities than macronutrients.
