Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iron, zinc, and vitamins A, B12, C, and D are all essential nutrients that the body needs in small amounts, which is why they are referred to as micronutrients. Supplements may refer to any type of nutrient or substance that is added to the diet or taken as a pill or capsule, but not all micronutrients come in supplement form. Macrovitamins is not a recognized term and essential chemicals is too broad of a term to specifically refer to these micronutrients.
