Vitamins

Vitamins are organic substances that the body needs in minute amounts and that we ingest with our foods. Vitamins do not supply energy, nor do they contribute substantially to the mass of the body, rather, they act as catalysts, substances that help to trigger other reactions in the body.

There are two basic categories of vitamins: Water-soluble and Fat-soluble. The water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body, and any excess amounts are flushed out in the urine. The fat-soluble vitamins are dissolved and stored in the fatty tissues of the body. It is necessary to take in water-soluble vitamins on a daily basis, but the fat-soluble vitamins can be ingested less often.
