Consumer Info - Macro and Micronutrients
(ChiaCorp, december 14, 2007)
Everything we eat or drink is basically formed by three fundamental elements called macro nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates and fats, that produce energy (calories). The dietary fiber, that does not incorporate into the body as nutrient, is necessary to make digestive system work.
However, for the human body to reach a relative balanced state and to work properly, it needs some nutrients in very small quantities. If these are absent, that balance might be altered since we cannot produce these compounds commonly called micro nutrientes which are: vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and oligoelements.
