    In Unit 8, we began our study of vitamins and minerals, covering the basic classification and sources of vitamins and minerals, as well as examining in detail the vitamins and minerals involved in fluid and electrolyte balance, antioxidant function, and vision. In Unit 9, we’ll continue our study of vitamins and minerals, focusing on those micronutrients involved in bone health, energy metabolism, and blood health.
