AB  - Approximately  40  nutrients  are  required  by  the  human  body.  Nutrients  are  essential  if  they  cannot  be  synthesized  by  the  body  and  if  a  deficiency  causes  recognizable  abnormalities  that  disappear  when  the  deficit  is  corrected.  Required  nutrients  include  the  essential  amino  acids,  water-soluble  vitamins,  fat-soluble  vitamins,  minerals,  and  the  essential  fatty  acids.  The  body  also  requires  an  adequate  energy  substrate,  a  small  amount  of  metabolizable  carbohydrate,  indigestible  carbohydrate  (fiber),  additional  nitrogen,  and  water.
