Mikrotápanyage

Mikrotápanyage, or micronutrients, are essential nutrients required by the human body in small quantities. Unlike macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats), which are needed in larger amounts for energy, micronutrients play critical roles in various physiological processes. They include vitamins (such as A, C, D, E, K, and B-complex vitamins) and minerals (like iron, calcium, zinc, and selenium). These nutrients support functions like immune system health, bone strength, cell growth, and metabolism. Sources of micronutrients are diverse, found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and lean proteins. A balanced diet rich in these foods helps maintain overall health. Deficiencies in micronutrients can lead to specific health issues, while excessive intake may cause toxicity, so moderation is key.
