Importance of VitaminsVitamins don't provide energy, like carbohydrates, proteins and fats, but they are essential compounds that help the body grow and function. Vitamins help boost your immunity, strengthen your bones, heal wounds, maintain your eyesight and help you in obtaining energy from food -- among multiple other functions. Without enough vitamin intake, you may feel lethargic, be vulnerable to infection.
These 13 Vitamins are classified as fat-soluble or water-soluble, referring to where they are stored in the body. Fat-soluble vitamins include A, D, E and K and are stored for up to six months in your various fat stores. Water-soluble vitamins circulate through your blood and include the B vitamins, B-6, B-12, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin and folate, and vitamin C. Your body doesn't store water-soluble vitamins, so you need to replenish them regularly. |
