Vitamins and minerals: small doses, major health effects.
Micronutrients are essential nutrients needed in small amounts: vitamins and minerals. They provide no energy but regulate essential biological functions.
Unlike macronutrients, micronutrients provide no calories, yet their absence causes serious deficiencies. Vitamin C prevents scurvy, iron prevents anemia, calcium maintains bone density.
Regulate enzymatic reactions, strengthen immunity, protect cells.
Diversify your diet across all food groups to cover all micronutrient needs.
Micronutrients are indispensable even in trace amounts — their deficiency profoundly impacts health.
