How do vitamins and minerals work?
In order to be effective, vitamins and minerals work with the other nutrients found in food. They are known as micronutrients because they are required in very small quantities. Macronutrients, which include oxygen, water, carbohydrates, proteins and fats are needed in large quantities.
