Interdependance of Micronutrients

Most people are aware of the importance of vitamins and minerals. Many people are taking nutrition supplements such as vitamin C, B, A, calcium etc. to improve their health. However, not many people are aware that the certain nutrients need to be taken in right combination with each other in order to function at best result, otherwise they may have limited or no effect.

According to the diagram below, all nutrients need to work together as a team, e.g like vitamin C needs to depend on calcium or vice versa for optimum result.

This is very important especially for those who are taking supplements. If not taken in the right combination, the supplements can be a waste of money!
