“Micronutrients – vitamins and minerals – facilitate the body's immune responses to viral infections. Poor micronutrient status diminishes these responses and may contribute to the emergence of more virulent strains of viruses.”

“They also highlight the role of adequate nutrition throughout the lifespan and support the "micronutrient triage theory" – the idea that the body prioritizes the utilization of micronutrients for metabolic pathways needed for survival and reproduction over those used for long-term health.”

“Dr. Patrick and Dr. Hyman connect this result with a practical way to build meals: prioritize minimally processed protein sources, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and intact grains. This pattern supplies protein, fiber, and micronutrients that help meals feel satisfying and support metabolic health.”

“Across 1.44 million adults, higher leisure-time physical activity was associated with lower incidence of 13 cancer types. A plant-forward diet adds fiber, micronutrients, and phytochemicals while leaving less room for processed meat and ultra-processed food.”

“While Dr. Rhonda Patrick's first video focused primarily on the micronutrients found in the various fruits and vegetables she put in her smoothie, this one, in addition to offering some modest changes on the recipe, instead focuses on the beneficial "hormetic" compounds that are NOT micronutrients.”

“In the second part of the study, children received a micronutrient powder containing 5 milligrams of iron daily or a micronutrient powder without iron for four months starting when they were about seven months old.”

“The organic milk was also higher in vitamin E and carotenoids but lower in iodine and selenium. These studies suggest that outdoor-reared, grass-fed animals producing milk and meat may affect fatty acid composition & other micronutrients.”

“A standard multivitamin can help fill micronutrient gaps when diet does not consistently provide enough vitamins and minerals. In this clip from Dr. Steve Horvath's FoundMyFitness interview with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, they discuss three cognitive substudies within the COSMOS trial program.”

“Longer-term nutrient status offers another perspective: in a randomized trial of adults with overweight or obesity, 15 grams of psyllium daily for three months did not significantly alter serum micronutrient concentrations relative to control.”

“Among participants who developed mild cognitive impairment, those assigned to a daily multivitamin showed less decline in global cognition and executive function. The finding adds to evidence that adequate micronutrient intake may support cognitive resilience with age.”
