Nutrition chemicals are any substances required for the correct functioning of the body. They contain essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, in addition to other compounds such as proteins and fatty acids. Nutrition chemicals are essential because they participate in every bodily function, from the production of energy to the maintenance of cells.

Nutrition chemicals are widely used as food additives to enhance the nutritional value of foods required by humans, plants, and animals, extend the shelf life of products, and impart taste, color, and texture to products. These chemicals are used in a variety of applications including pharmaceuticals, animal nutrition, food, cosmetics and personal care, and agriculture, among others.

Animal and agricultural nutrients and chemical products are used to improve the dietary needs of plants and animals. Some of the commonly used animal nutrition chemical products used to enhance the nutrition value of animal feed include organic acids, enzymes, vitamins, and glycinates, among others. Nutrition chemicals are increasingly used in animal feed as nutritional supplements to maintain the balance of protein, vitamins, and other nutritional minerals in livestock diets. Plant nutrition chemicals include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, copper, etc. All of these chemicals are plant boosters, absorbed by the roots, helping them grow and provide food for humans and animals.
