micronutrient supplementation

Micronutrient supplementation involves the intake of vitamins and minerals that are essential for the body but needed in smaller amounts than macronutrients like carbohydrates and proteins. These nutrients, such as iron, calcium, and vitamin D, play critical roles in processes like immune function, energy production, and bone health. Sometimes, people may not get enough micronutrients from their diet due to poor nutrition, health conditions, or specific life stages. Supplementation can help fill these gaps and support overall health, but it’s important to discuss it with a healthcare provider to ensure safety and proper dosage.
