What are functions of vitamins A, C, D, E, K?

Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue, mucous membranes, and skin.

Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant that promotes healthy teeth and gums. It helps the body absorb iron, maintain healthy tissue and heal wounds.

Vitamin D is also known as the "sunshine vitamin”. 10-15 minutes of sunshine 3 times a week is enough to produce the body's requirement of vitamin D for most people. It helps the body absorb calcium that we need for the normal development and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones, and maintain proper blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Without sunshine, it is rather hard to get enough vitamin D from food sources.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant also known as tocopherol. It helps the body form red blood cells and use vitamin K.

Vitamin K is needed because without it, blood would not stick together. Some studies suggest that it is important for bone health.
