Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Vitamins’
Detailed explanation-2: -Antioxidants are food components that protect cells and reduce your risk of chronic disease; however, they do not provide energy. These nutrients, like selenium, lycopene, vitamin C and beta-carotene, neutralize free radicals that feed on healthy cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Even though, vitamins do not have calories and do not give you energy directly, some of them are involved in energy metabolism. For example-thiamine, niacin and riboflavin, which are all B vitamins, pull energy from carbohydrates, protein and fat in your diet, but the B vitamins do not independently provide energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Contrary to popular belief, vitamins do not directly provide energy. As catalysts, vitamins are required for the release of energy from protein, fat and carbohydrates.
