What are vitamins?

Vitamins are organic compounds that our bodies need to function properly. They are essential nutrients, meaning we must get vitamins through our diet because the body cannot produce them on its own. The only exception is vitamin D, which can be produced in the body with the help of the sun's UV rays during the summer months. However, it is important to supply the vitamin through diet or food supplements for the rest of the year.

Fat soluble vitamins

Vitamins are usually divided into two main groups: fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K are fat-soluble vitamins that dissolve in fat and can be stored in the body's tissues.

It is important not to overdose on fat-soluble vitamins because they can be stored in the body and lead to toxic effects.

Water soluble vitamins

Vitamin C and the eight different B vitamins that exist are water soluble. This means that they dissolve in water and are transported through the body. These are more difficult to overdose on as any excess is often lost through the urine. An exception is vitamin B12, which can be stored in the liver for several years.
