In addition to carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus are also essential to produce biomass. Other micro-nutrients such as sulphur, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and some metals are necessary to maintain microbial viability.

The body needs protein (complete) carbohydrates, and fats (yes fats) to repair, supply energy, and maintain good health. As a bodybuilder these basic macro-nutrients and micro-nutrient containing foods are the raw materials utilized to build and shape your living work of art.

Alfa Lipoic Acid Without writing an ad for anybody, let me simply say that Lipoic Acid increases receptor site sensitivity while also mimicking Insulin s actions. Though my choice for micro-nutrient of the year award for maximum creatine transport without an increase in bodyfat synthesis would be 4-hydroxy- Isoleucine. Major potential here ... 

Fractions of higher molecular mass, which are mostly insoluble, can withhold large amounts of metals, especially in alkaline environments. Metals are thus subtracted from precipitation and subsequent crystallization, processes that would decrease their availability (Schwertmann, 1966), and a reserve of micro-nutrients is created which is in equilibrium with complexing molecules. On the other hand, under conditions of high metal concentrations, complexation by humified organic matter may limit the amount of metals in solution under these conditions, interchain bonds may form, with possible precipitation of humic molecules. This process can be important for toxic elements, the activity of which can thus be reduced to nontoxic levels (Gerke, 1992). 

Soluble humified organic matter of soil (Chen, 1996) may increase metal transport by diffusion to the roots (Pandeya et al., 1998) and favor micro-nutrient uptake by the plants.

Mineral absorption studies that compared the absorption of the micro-nutrients, Cu, Fe, and Zn, from human milk versus experimental infant formulae confirmed that mineral uptake is more closely linked to the chemical interactions between the components in milk and formulae, than to mineral solubility alone (Glahn et al., 1998 Hendricks et al., 2001).

The M. oleifera plant has been consumed by humans for a long time in diverse culinary variety depending on the part of the plant. Almost all parts of the plant are consumed in one way or another and have been termed the cow plant in some parts of Zambia. Its unique composition in both macro and micro nutrients has been recognized and is the reason for it being advocated as part of diet in communities with food insecurity. The macro- and micro-nntrients of M oleifera are differently distributed along its anatomical parts and this forms the basis for the preparation and processing of the plant parts for consirmption. It s proximate composition is as shown in Table I. 

In accordance with modern classification, the trace elements are those with content in the Earth (darks) about 1 x 10 % or less. Many trace elements are important elements in the biogeochemistry of any terrestrial or aquatic ecosystem and some of them are required micro-nutrients for plant, human, or animal life (Figure 1). 

The second characteristic feature of Forest Ecosystem soils is the accumulation of macro-nutrients in the litter with sharp decreasing to the download horizon. However, the trace elements show the opposite trend and the concentration of micro-nutrients is gradually increasing up to the soil forming rocks.
