Question

What are vitamins and what do they do

Answer 1

A vitamin is an organic compound and an essential nutrient, or micronutrient, that an organism needs in small amounts. An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when the organism cannot make the compound itself, (either at all, or in sufficient quantities) and it must be obtained through the diet. Different organisms have different vitamin needs. For example, vitamin C is needed in the diet by humans and other primates, but not by many other animals. Vitamin D is a needed micronutrient when its normal synthesis in the skin by sunlight is impaired by the lack of exposure to the sun.
