ABSTRACT
The role of adding micronutrients in the diet in order to prevent cancer from developing and becoming malignant has been controversial in cancer research. Micronutrients can be found as part of specific substances, such as antioxidant enzymes, which include superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Micronutrients, as part of antioxidants, work to recycle, protect against, or remove certain reactive species that build up past their needs. Comprehending how micronutrients affect the cellular processes within our bodies is essential to realizing the role they have in cancer prevention and intervention. An obvious benefit of utilizing micronutrients as supplements to chemotherapy is the fact that they are widely accessible in the market. Moreover, micronutrients and antioxidants are significant for a person’s overall health maintenance, even more so for someone who is undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
