| FDBN00001 | Fat | macronutrient | Fats provide a dense source of energy, aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, form cell membranes, act as precursors for hormones, and insulate and protect organs. They also play signaling roles in inflammation and metabolism. | DUKE |
| FDBN00002 | Proteins | macronutrient | Proteins serve as enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and transporters. They are also vital for muscle contraction, tissue repair, cellular communication, and the regulation of gene expression and metabolic pathways. | DUKE |
| FDBN00003 | Carbohydrate | macronutrient | Carbohydrates are the body�s main source of energy which fuels everything from brain function to physical activity. They also help regulate blood sugar levels and support gut health, especially the fiber found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Beyond energy, carbohydrates play a role in storing energy (as glycogen in muscles and the liver) and are involved in cell communication and the structure of DNA and RNA. Complex carbs also help you feel full and maintain digestive health. | DUKE |
| FDBN00004 | Fatty acids | macronutrient | Fatty acids serve as a key energy source, components of triglycerides and phospholipids, and precursors to bioactive molecules like eicosanoids.
