Initially, the use of additional food is still limited to restore metabolic function in which the entire process is controlled by the enzyme as the body catalytic chemical reactions that make the cells work optimally. In general, the enzyme consists of a special protein called apoenzim, and requires cofactor which is usually is a vitamin or mineral. Therefore, the old concept of micro nutrient (vitamins and minerals) is called the essential substances that are needed by body.
