What are Vitamins

The vitamins are important natural nutrients that are required in small amounts for a variety of biological processes in our body such as growth and development, immune system health ,wound healing, muscle and tissue maintenance etc.
There are 13 different kinds of vitamins and each one is essential for the body. Casimir Funk is regarded as the father of vitamins .
Like minerals, our bodies are unable to produce vitamins itself in the body .So absorb them from the food we eat.

Types of Vitamins

On the Basis of solubility, Vitamins are classified into two different major groups:

  • Fat soluble vitamin:- Fat Soluble vitamins are absorbed from fats we eat .Moreover unlike Water soluble vitamins these vitamins remain for a longer period in the body. Some Examples of fat soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K
