Your body absorbs two types of nutrients: macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) are your bodyâs direct fuel or energy sources, whereas micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) indirectly influence available energy by serving as catalysts to release the macros.
Micronutrients are what are commonly referred to as vitamins and minerals.. Micronutrients include such minerals as flouride, selenium, sodium, iodine, copper and zinc. They also include vitamins such as vitamin C, A, D, E and K, as well as the B-complex vitamins. As mentioned, micronutrients are different from the macronutrients protein, carbohydrate and fat, and micronutrients are called micro-nutrients because your body needs only very small quantities of them for survival.
