Role in Human Nutrition

Micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, are essential for human health.
They contribute to growth, development, and overall body function.
Vitamins split into fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) and water-soluble (B, C).
Minerals divided into macro-minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium) and trace minerals (iron, zinc, iodine).
Micronutrients aid in metabolism regulation, immune system support, bone health maintenance, and energy production.
A balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and dairy is required to ensure adequate intake of these nutrients.
