The correct word is micronutrients. Perhaps some people mistakenly interchange the words.
I doubt anyone's confusing physics with biochemistry when they talk about these things.
Mass media uses "nutrients" in the sense of "a magical substance, akin to aether or flogiston, that makes you thin and healthy". It is mostly generated by certificates of organic farming and is converted into its evil twin named "calories" by a variety of substances, e.g. anything connected to GMOs.
Ok. You clearly have a different kind of mass media there.
"It's got electrolytes."
