Despite minimal quantity, they are vital for health, growth, and development. They include many vitamins and minerals, each playing unique roles in maintaining our body’s optimal functioning.n n </span> n </p> n <p style=”line-height: 1.38;”> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n <br/> n n Vitamins: The Vital Organic Compoundsn n </span> n <span style=”display: initial;”> n <br/> n <br/> n </span> n </p> n <p style=”line-height: 1.38;”> n <span style=”display: initial;”> n n Vitamins are organic compounds, categorized mainly into fat-soluble (Vitamins A, D, E, K) and water-soluble (B-vitamins and Vitamin C). Each vitamin has specific roles, ranging from energy production to maintaining skin health.n n </span> n </p> n <p style=”line-height: 1.38;”> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n <br/> n n Minerals: The Essential Inorganic Elementsn n <br/> n <br/> n </span> n </p> n <p style=”line-height: 1.38;”> n <span style=”display: initial;”> n n Minerals, on the other hand, are inorganic and are divided into major and trace minerals. Calcium, potassium, and magnesium are major minerals vital for bone health, muscle function, and fluid balance. Though needed in smaller amounts, trace minerals like iron, zinc, and iodine are crucial for various biochemical processes.n n </span> n </p> n <p style=”line-height: 1.38;”> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n <br/> n n Then n </span> n </span> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700; color: rgb(35, 149, 9);”> n n Micronutrients-Mental Healthn n </span> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n n Connectionn n </span> n </span> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n <br/> n </span> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n <br/> n </span> n </p> n <p style=”line-height: 1.38;”> n <span style=”display: initial; font-weight: 700;”> n n Neurotransmitter Synthesis and Functionn n <br/> n <br/> n </span> n </p> n <p style=”line-height: 1.38;”> n <span style=”display: initial;”> n n Several B vitamins are key in synthesizing neurotransmitters, like serotonin and dopamine, which are critical for mood regulation.
