Protein- major structural component of cells and is responsible for building and repair of body tissues.

Vitamins- Vitamins such as C are necessary for synthesis of collagen, which helps provide structure to blood vessels.
Minerals- Sodium helps maintain fluid volume outside of the cells and helps them to preform normally.
