Introduction to Vitamins:

1. Vitamins are one of the six major categories of nutrients required by the human body. They play a crucial role in normal growth, development, metabolism, and the maintenance of health.

2. Vitamins are not the primary building blocks of human tissue, nor are they energy-providing substances; however, they play a vital role in regulating the body’s metabolism.

3. Vitamins can be divided into two major categories based on their solubility:

(1) Water-soluble vitamins: These include the B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) and vitamin C.

(2) Fat-soluble vitamins: These include vitamins A, D, E, and K.

4. A balanced and varied diet is an effective way to ensure adequate vitamin intake.
