Vitamins
Vitamins are nutrients, which in small quantities have been found to be essential for human life.
They are a group of organic substances that must be provided in small quantities from the environment because either they cannot be synthesised in human beings or their rate of synthesis is inadequate for the maintenance of health.

Vitamins can be classified as water - soluble vitamins and fat - soluble vitamins.
The water - soluble vitamins are vitamins B and C.
The fat - soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E and K.
