What are vitamins?
Vitamins are micronutrients that help the body make full use of other nutrients by assisting the chemical reactions that make those nutrients work. They are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development.
There are essential vitamins:
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Vitamin K
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
Vitamin B3 (niacin)
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Pantothenic acid (B5)
Biotin (B7)
Folate (folic acid or B9)
Vitamins are grouped into categories:
The four fat-soluble vitamins - A, D, E, and K – are stored in the body's liver, fatty tissue, and muscles. They are absorbed more easily by the body in the presence of dietary fat.
The nine water-soluble vitamins – C and all the B vitamins – are not stored in the body and should be consumed on a regular basis. The exception to this is vitamin B12, which can be stored in the liver for many years.
