Vitamins and minerals are essential for converting other food sources into energy and are vital for maintaining the overall good health of the body. Vitamins and minerals help maintain strong bones, support the immune system, protect body tissues and repair muscle tissue after exercise.

They can be obtained from all natural food sources, including fruit and vegetables, red meat and dairy products. While not directly providing the body with a source of energy, vitamins and minerals do play a vital role in energy production.
