Dietary Carbohydrate (N/A)

Target: N/A
Molecular classification: Macronutrient, Simple Carbohydrate (Sugars), Complex Carbohydrate (Starches), Polysaccharide (Fiber)

Overview

Dietary carbohydrates are a class of macronutrients primarily composed of sugar molecules. They serve as the body's primary source of energy, being broken down into glucose to fuel cells, tissues, and organs. Carbohydrates are classified into sugars, starches, and fiber, each with distinct properties and impacts on health. The quality and quantity of carbohydrate intake significantly influence metabolic health, with unprocessed sources promoting better outcomes than refined carbohydrates.
