3. What Are Vitamins?
Vitamins are organic compounds that are necessary for normal
metabolism and growth. They can be classified into two main
categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble. Each type has
unique functions and sources, contributing to various bodily
functions.

4. There are 13 essential vitamins
divided into two groups: fat-soluble
(A, D, E, K) and water-soluble (B-
complex, C). Each vitamin has specific
functions, such as supporting the
immune system, aiding in energy
production, and promoting skin
health.

5. Vitamin A: Importance
Vitamin A is crucial for vision, immune function, and skin
health. It helps maintain healthy epithelial tissues and is
involved in cell differentiation. Deficiency can lead to night
blindness and increased susceptibility to infections.

6. Vitamin C: Essential Role
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that
supports the immune system and aids in the
absorption of iron. It is vital for collagen
synthesis, promoting healthy skin and
connective tissues. Deficiency can lead to scurvy
and weakened immunity.

7. Vitamin D: Bone Health
Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and maintaining
bone health. It plays a role in immune function and may help
reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Deficiency can lead to
osteoporosis and other bone disorders.

8. Vitamin B12 is vital for red blood cell formation and DNA
synthesis. It helps maintain healthy nervous system function
and is crucial for energy production. Deficiency can cause
anemia and neurological issues.
