Micronutrients
Vitamins and minerals essential for metabolism, energy, and overall health — especially important during weight loss.
Patient-Friendly Explanation
Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals your body needs in small amounts to work properly. They help with everything from energy production to immune function and bone health. Getting enough through a balanced diet is essential for overall health and successful weight management.
Clinical Definition
Micronutrients are essential dietary elements required in small quantities (milligrams to micrograms daily) for normal physiological function. They include vitamins (fat-soluble A, D, E, K and water-soluble B-complex, C) and trace minerals (iron, zinc, selenium, iodine, magnesium, calcium). Deficiencies are common in restrictive diets and can impair metabolic rate, thyroid function, and energy metabolism.
