Vitamins


Vitamins derived from “vital amines” are substances very essential for the body to stay healthy. They are natural substances available in plants and animals. Most vitamins have to be taken in the diet. Only vitamin k and E are synthesized by the human body in proper circumstances. The vitamins are divided into two major categories namely the fat soluble vitamins and water soluble ones. Each vitamin helps the body in one or more ways to maintain a balance. More importantly most diseases are caused by vitamin deficiencies. So vitamins play a vital role in a balanced diet and like any other substance in this world, vitamins can also have adverse effects when taken beyond limits.
