Vitamins

Vitamins are a group of compounds, required in minute amounts but are essential for good health. There are about 20 vitamins, most of which cannot be made by the body, and must therefore be obtained from the diet. Each vitamin performs one or several essential functions within the body. Vitamins can be divided into two groups, fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) and water soluble (B complex and C).
