Dietary Micronutrient Intake and Health

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce a Special Issue of Nutrients pertaining to “Dietary Micronutrient Intake and Health”. Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals that are essential to the body in very small amounts and that can only be obtained from the diet, with the exception of vitamin D. They perform essential functions for the growth and development of human bodies, including enabling the production of enzymes, hormones, and other critical substances. Due to agricultural, social, cultural, and economic activities, changes and novel knowledge concerning their role in health emerge, causing dietary patterns and intake to adjust over time. We expect this Special Issue to include studies on novel discoveries surrounding micronutrients as dietary intervention in improving human health, including, but not limited to, weight loss, diabetes, cardiovascular, and other diseases, and the possible consequences to health as a result of a low dietary intake. We also welcome studies examining the status, trends, and patterns of dietary micronutrients and their food sources.

Prof. Dr. Hongbing Sun
