You may often hear: "As long as you eat a healthy and varied diet, you don't need dietary supplements." But what does 'healthy eating' actually mean? Do you eat 500 grams of fruits and vegetables daily? Do you drink enough water? Do you have no specific health complaints? And do you get enough exercise?
Why micronutrients are important
Your body needs macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, trace elements). Most vitamins and minerals cannot be produced by your body itself, so it is important to obtain them from food. Below is an overview of common micronutrients:
Vitamin D
-
Supports calcium absorption and the maintenance of strong bones
-
Contributes to a normally functioning immune system
-
Supports the maintenance of healthy teeth
Vitamin B12
-
Contributes to the production of red blood cells
-
Plays a role in energy metabolism
-
Supports cell division
Biotin (Vitamin B8)
-
Supports normal hair and skin
-
Plays a role in the functioning of the nervous system
Magnesium
-
Plays a role in muscle function and the nervous system
-
Supports the maintenance of a strong skeleton
Iron
-
Supports oxygen transport in the body
-
Contributes to the reduction of fatigue
Fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins
-
Fat-soluble: Vitamins A, D, E, and K are absorbed with fats and stored in fatty tissue or the liver.
-
Water-soluble: B vitamins and vitamin C are not stored in the body and leave the body via urine.
