Micronutrients and how they affect your health
We talk about Micronutrients a lot. Afterall, that is precisely what Greens Stack is. Your daily dose of micronutrients in one convenient scoop. Micronutrients are a major group of nutrients. They are the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. They play an integral role in nearly EVERY SINGLE process in your body.
Hungry? Tired? Less focused? No energy? Lethargic? Not seeing results in the gym? Agitated? Hair and nails weakened? Bad skin? Mood swings? Low immune system? Well, these are just a few of the more minor issues that inadequate micronutrient consumption can cause, not mentioning the more serious effects that nutrient deficiencies can have on the body and mind.
Vitamins = Immune function, energy production, blood clotting, along with many other functions
Minerals = Growth, bone health, fluid balance, along with many other processes
Micronutrients vs Macronutrients
You will have no doubt heard the term ‘macronutrients’ being used by industry professionals, and it’s pretty easy to grasp what they are. They’re your main food groups; Protein, fats and carbohydrates.
The term micronutrients is used to describe vitamins and minerals in general. Your body needs micronutrients in smaller amounts - Hence, “micro”.
Micronutrients must be obtained through a varied and healthy diet, but even the healthiest of modern diets would struggle to get an adequate amount of micronutrients each day.
Soil quality has deteriorated over the years due to pollution and other various geological factors, making supplementation necessary.
Interestingly, many people tend to look at their macronutrient intake when they feel rundown, tired, and unmotivated, however, great advances have been made in recent years in the rising importance of increasing the micronutrient intake - each micronutrient plays a very important role for optimal health.
Health Benefits of Micronutrients
Micronutrients play an important role in the day to day function of the human body and mind.
A deficiency can lead to disease and dangerous health conditions, but even a small shortfall leaves us generally feeling a little bit ‘meh’.
This is quite simply because they are an integral part of nearly EVERY SINGLE process in your body.
Hence Greens Stack was built with optimum micronutrient intake in mind, every ingredient carefully researched and picked due to larger case studies, and doses in quantities that ensure they have an impact. Not only this, but it was designed with bioavailability in mind, so that your body can actually absorb the vitamins and minerals that it needs!
Macronutrients shouldn’t be the first place you look to when you want to change things in your diet to improve your day to day life. It should be your micros.
You take care of your macros. We will take care of your micros.
