ELI5 mode

Micronutrients are essential vitamins and minerals that the body needs in very small amounts to function properly and support overall health. These include elements like iron, zinc, and vitamins A, B, C, which play critical roles in enzyme reactions, immune defense, and energy production, but their importance is often underappreciated in modern diets where processed foods can lead to deficiencies.
