1.6 **e. calcium** - Calcium is primarily known for its role in bone and teeth formation. It also plays a crucial role in blood clotting, muscle function, and nerve transmission.<br /><br />1.7 **k. phosphorus** - Phosphorus works closely with calcium in bone health, but it's also vital for cellular energy production, utilizing other nutrients effectively.<br /><br />1.8 **b. iron** - Iron is a key component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.<br /><br />1.9 **g. iodine** - Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism.<br /><br />1.10 **d. Vitamin A** - Vitamin A is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and vision, particularly preventing night blindness.<br /><br />1.11 **f. Vitamin B** - B vitamins (there are several types) are crucial for energy release from food, nervous system health, appetite, digestion, and red blood cell production. This likely refers to a B-complex vitamin or a specific B vitamin like B12.<br /><br />1.12 **c. Vitamin C** - Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports the immune system, aids in collagen production (important for healing), and prevents scurvy.<br /><br />1.13 **j. Vitamin D** - Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption, which are both critical for bone health.<br /><br />1.14 **h. Vitamin K** - Vitamin K plays a vital role in blood clotting.<br /><br />1.15 **a. Vitamin E** - Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects cell membranes from damage.<br /><br />1.16 **i. water** - Water is the primary solvent in the body, transporting nutrients to cells and carrying away waste products.<br />
