Food Information: Vitamins - detailed information
Vitamins are a group of chemical substances vital to the body. The body requires only small amounts of vitamins but they must be supplied by food as the body cannot make most of them itself.

Chemistry - Vitamins can be classified according to the substance in which they dissolve.

2 groups:
i) fat soluble vitamins A,D,E and K
ii) water soluble , vitamin B complex and vitamin C.
Bacteria in the intestine can produce some of the vitamins in the B complex but not enough to meet the body's needs.
