Why are micronutrients important for our health?
Micronutrients contribute to general wellness and proper growth and development. When our diets are missing these nutrients it can lead to stunting, wasting, and even death. For example, iron is important for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Zinc helps the body heal cuts and wounds effectively. Vitamin A is important for the health of the immune system.
How did you determine how much of each nutrient to add?
The values of each of the micronutrients have been calculated from the daily recommended intake values for children ages 4-8 according to the National Institutes for Health. Each serving has approximately 30% of this recommended value.Â
