Electrolytes contain which trace minerals?

That question cannot be answered properly. Trace minerals or trace elements are chrome (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Iodine (I), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn)Molybdenum (Mo), Selenium (´Se) and Zinc (Zn). Those occur either as impurities in nearly everything as atomic forms or as salt as sodium iodide Na (+) I (-). Then both sodium and iodide are electrolytes being electrically charged.
The importance of trace minerals had been realized first when electrolyte SOLUTIONS for intravenous infusion on ICUs were ultra purified and trace minerals as impurities had been removed. Patients then developed depletion syndromes according to whatever was missing. Chemically "electrolytes" do not contain "trace minerals". Saline forms of trace minerals contain those as electrolytes themselves.
