What is the nutritional value of vitamins or micronutrients?

They have no nutritional value
They are not essential for health
They are vital for energy production
They can heal all types of diseases

The correct answer is: They have no nutritional value

Vitamins and micronutrients play a critical role in maintaining health and supporting numerous bodily functions, which makes option A incorrect. Although they do not provide energy in the same way macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) do, they are essential for various biochemical processes. The correct choice indicates that vitamins and micronutrients are vital for energy production. While they themselves do not supply energy, many vitamins serve as coenzymes in metabolic pathways that are crucial for converting energy from food into usable forms in the body. For example, B vitamins are essential in energy metabolism, and deficiencies in these can hinder the body’s ability to extract energy from nutrients. They are also involved in supporting the immune system, repairing cellular damage, and maintaining overall health, underscoring their necessity in a balanced diet. Therefore, they indeed hold significant nutritional value despite not being energy sources per se.
