Meat contains the needed trace minerals in their proper amounts and in an easily used form.Examples of trace minerals are iron, zinc, copper, cobalt, selenium, chromium and molybdenum. All are linked with blood in helping the body use other nutrients. For instance, iron carries oxygen; cobalt is part of the B-12 complex; chromium helps the body use sugars; and zinc is involved with chromosomes and genes in cell division.
