And these essential micronutrients are doing very important things in our body from running our metabolism to making sure our enzymes, which are proteins inside of our cells that are basically doing all the work responsible for everything from pumping our blood to our immune function, to neurotransmitter function. So basically everything they require, these, you know, micronutrients as cofactors.
