Vitamins and minerals are nutrients
that are essential to life.
They are often called micronutrients
because, in comparison with the four
major mutrients - carbohydrates, proteins,
fats, and water - they are needed in
relatively small amounts.
Vitamins
are organic compounds, meaning that
they occur naturally in plants and animals.
By and large, vitamins function as coenzymes.
Enzymes are catalysts or activators
in the chemical reactions that are continually
taking place in our bodies. Vitamins
are a fundamental part of the enzymes,
much the way your muscles are a fundamental
part of your arms and lets.
The minerals
part of the daily "vitamins and
minerals" equation are inorganic
elements, meaning that they are not
produced by planlts and animals. Like
vitamins, many minerals function as
coeznymes, enabling chemical reactions
to occur throughout the body.
After they have been absorbed, vitamins
and minerals actually become part of
the structure of the body - of the cells,
enzymes, hormones, muscles, blood, and
bones. As part of the body pool, these
substances remain in the body for varying
amounts of time. Some are utlized emmediately
and some are stored and utilized over
a period of time.
