 Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. They are required for the normal functioning of the brain, muscles, and to regulate blood sugar levels.

 Essential fats are used for long term energy storage, cell formation and organ protection. They are also useful in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and synthesis of vital hormones.

Vitamins

 Vitamins are essential for many processes in the body, such as immune response, metabolism, and bone formation. Every vitamin (for example, vitamin C, D, B-complex) has its own function in the body.
