35
(Tea, spinach) decrease zinc and iron absorption
Oxalic acid
36
Combine with other substances Phosphorylation occurs Combinations activate the vitamin then the compound is needed As a result vitamins help regulate metabolic pathways
B vitamins
37
Easier to develop a toxic overload from supplements than food So micronutrients consumed as supplements may be harmful to health example a, C, E Most minerals have better absorption from animal sources versus supplements In most cases food is better
Micronutrient metabolism
38

Prevent or treat disease
39
Some vitamin like factors and trace minerals may have beneficial health effects, such as:
