As you know, micronutrients are nutrients that your body needs only in small—very small—quantities.
Some people take supplements (pills or liquids) to get extra vitamins and minerals. However, supplements can be expensive are not usually necessary if you eat a well-balanced diet. In addition, vitamins and minerals from food are more easily absorbed than those from supplements.
WARNING: Too much of certain vitamins and minerals can be bad for you. To be safe, do not take a vitamin or mineral supplement unless your healthcare provider says you need one.
