None. The large intestine doesnt even abosrd nutrients (to any significant degree) let alone produce them.
The intestine itself does not create any nutrients, but the bacteria living in it do. Bacteria can eat some wastes to create nutrients. Even though most absorption of nutrients is done in the small intestines, the large intestine absorbs the vitamins that the bacteria inside it create.
