Vitamins and Micronutrients

Vitamins and minerals are often called micronutrients because your body needs only tiny amounts of them. Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients because they perform hundreds of roles in the body. There is a fine line between getting enough of these nutrients which is healthy and getting too much which can end up harming you. Eating a healthy diet remains the best way to get sufficient amounts of the vitamins and minerals you need.
