Disputed and Revised
Boron, may help improve bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Essential status is controversial, but it is thought to be essential for pregnant women and infants.
Calcium
Chloride
Chromium
Cobalt, not considered an essential mineral for humans. Humans can synthesize it from vitamin B12.
Copper
Fluoride, politically motivated not essential, there is no such thing as fluoride deficiency. Bones comprises calcium 30%, phosphorus 18%, water 25%, 25% macronutrients such as fat and proteins. Magnesium, potassium and sulfur are essential for bone health. To make bones strong or healthy, feed them what they are comprised of and exercise them. Tooth enamel is made of 96% minerals, mostly hydroxyapatite, a crystalline calcium phosphate. The other 4% is made up of water and organic matter. Mineral toothpastes have been shown to contribute to building and rebuilding tooth enamel. Hydroxyapatite is not a cleaning agent, water is.
Iodine
Iron
Magnesium
Manganese
Molybdenum
Nickel, may help the body metabolize amino acids. Essential status is controversial, but it is thought to be essential for people with certain metabolic disorders.
Phosphorus
Potassium
Selenium
Silicon, my help improve bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Essential status is controversial, but it is thought to be essential for people with osteoporosis.
Sodium
Sulfur
Vanadium, the evidence for vanadium's essentiality is still inconclusive. Some studies have shown that vanadium can have beneficial effects on health, such as lowering blood sugar levels and improving insulin sensitivity. However, other studies have not found these benefits. Additionally, vanadium can be toxic in high doses. WHO's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vanadium is 10 micrograms (mcg) per day for adults.
Zinc
Sea Moss
Sea moss is a type of seaweed that is rich in minerals. It is said to contain 92 of the 102 minerals that the human body needs. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
A study published in the journal "Food Science and Nutrition" in 2019 analyzed the mineral content of sea moss and found that it contains 21 minerals, including:
Calcium: Important for strong bones and teeth, blood clotting, and muscle contraction.
Chromium: Important for blood sugar regulation.
Copper: Important for red blood cell production and immune function.
Iodine: Important for thyroid function.
Iron: Important for red blood cell production.
Magnesium: Important for heart rhythm, blood pressure, and muscle and nerve function.
Manganese: Important for energy metabolism and bone health.
Phosphorus: Important for bone health and energy metabolism.
Potassium: Important for regulating blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
Selenium: Important for antioxidant defense and thyroid function.
Zinc: Important for wound healing, immune function, and reproduction.
The concentration of minerals in sea moss varies depending on the species of sea moss, the growing conditions, and the processing method.

Non-essential Vitamins & Substances no longer regarded as vitamins
Choline (previously known as B4)
Inositol (previously known as B8)
B10, PABA
B11, aka folic acid is as synthetic form of folate (B9), folic acid is more easily absorbed by the body than folate from food

B20, L-carnitine
Bf, carnitine.
Bm: myo-inositol, also called "mouse antialopaecia factor"
Bp: "antiperosis factor"
BT: carnitine
Bv: a type of B6 other than pyridoxine.
BW: a type of biotin other than d-biotin.
Bx: an alternative name for both pABA (see vitamin B10) and pantothenic acid.

Essential Fatty Acids
4:1 ratio, 4 parts omega 6 to 1 part omega 3. Only marine algae, specifically microalgae contains vegan sources of omega 3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA): EPA is found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines. It is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its role in supporting cardiovascular health.
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA): DHA is also present in fatty fish and is particularly important for brain health and cognitive function. It's a major component of brain tissue.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids:
Linoleic Acid (LA): LA is commonly found in vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower, and corn oil. It serves as a precursor for other omega-6 fatty acids.
Arachidonic Acid (AA): AA is derived from linoleic acid and is involved in inflammation and immune responses.
