DSM Vitamins Report
Being complex organisms, humans have a host of nutritional needs. In order to maintain healthy lives, it is vital that we consume the correct nutrients through our diet to maintain normal body function.
The different types of nutrients that we need can be split into two categories: macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). While micronutrients, such as vitamins, are not required in the same quantities as macronutrients, they are equally as important for our bodies, as both work together to maintain overall health.
