Micronutrient intake is vital for maintaining health and preventing diseases throughout life. While whole foods should be the primary source of micronutrients, supplementation is necessary in certain cases. Both deficiencies and excess intake of micronutrients can have adverse effects. Common deficiencies include vitamin A, folate, iodine, iron, and zinc. Strategies like fortification and biofortification help combat deficiencies. Healthcare professionals must collaborate to identify at-risk individuals, manage imbalances, and promote evidence-based nutrition guidelines. The emphasis should be on diverse diets and cautious supplementation. This activity discusses micronutrient intake, recommended daily allowances, deficiencies, excessive intakes, and the clinical significance of micronutrient balance. The activity emphasizes a team-based approach to improve patient outcomes, reducing the long-term burden of micronutrient imbalances on both individuals and the healthcare system.
