Electronic format (pdf) Vitamins for everyone

Vitamins are essential organic substances in our bodies, needed in small amounts to maintain normal body health and function. They are involved in a variety of metabolic processes and physiological functions, including energy metabolism, immune system function, protein and DNA synthesis, bone, skin and vision health, and many other processes.

Most vitamins cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet or food supplements. There are two main types of vitamins:

• Fat-soluble vitamins, which dissolve in fat and are stored in the fatty tissues of the body. These include vitamins A, D, E and K.
• Water-soluble vitamins that dissolve in water and are regularly excreted in the urine. These include B-complex vitamins (such as B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B6, B7, B9 and B12) and vitamin C.

Each vitamin has its own specific role in keeping the body healthy and balanced, and a deficiency can lead to various health problems.

In this book you will find the vitamins presented in the following structure: beneficial effects, natural sources, deficiency (causes and manifestations), hypervitaminosis (causes and manifestations).

I wanted it to be a guide, to show you the facts about vitamins that it's good for everyone to know, because there's a lot of information circulating about vitamins, some true, some false.
