Hey mate!!!!

Vitamins are direly important for human health, growth, development, reproduction and maintenance, and their deficiencies are imposing serious health hazards. Thirteen vitamins are true vitamins which are further classified as water soluble and fat soluble vitamins. Vitamin A, E, K and D are fat soluble vitamins whereas, vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, biotic and vitamin C are water soluble vitamins. There are many other food components which have vitamin activity but these are not true vitamins. There are wide range of dietary sources including both plant and animal sources for these vitamins. Their regular dietary intake is essential for proper maintenance of health and development. Vitamin deficiencies are causing the serious health problems, impairment of normal growth and development.

Vitamins are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development.

There are 13 essential vitamins. This means that these vitamins are required for the body to work properly. They are:

Vitamin AVitamin CVitamin DVitamin EVitamin KVitamin B1 (thiamine)Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)Vitamin B3 (niacin)Pantothenic acid (B5)Biotin (B7)Vitamin B6Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)Folate (folic acid and B9)

Vitamins are grouped into two categories:

Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's fatty tissue. The four fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are absorbed more easily by the body in the presence of dietary fat.There are nine water-soluble vitamins. The body must use water-soluble vitamins right away. Any leftover water-soluble vitamins leave the body through the urine. Vitamin B12 is the only water-soluble vitamin that can be stored in the liver for many years.
