AB  - The potential of hormesis as the default model to assess and manage chemicals is considered in relation to micronutrients. It is pointed out that micronutrients, despite their well-known U-shaped dose-response curve, are assessed and managed only with excess-exposure in mind. Hereby a schism between health and safety is unjustifiably realized. This proves to be the conundrum of basically all chemicals regulation. It is proposed that hormesis could in principle address this conundrum.
