Everyone knows that the human body needs vitamins to stay healthy. Some people compensate for a shortage of them by consuming dietary supplements, while others eat lots of vegetables. At the same time, most people without medical knowledge hardly know what different food products contain.

We also want to be healthy, so we decided to explore that in more detail.

What are vitamins?

Vitamin is the essential organic compound necessary for the human body to function properly.

Many vitamins cannot be produced by the body itself. The body needs to obtain them from other places, generally through food.

There are the two types of vitamins

Fat-soluble (Vitamins A, D, E, and K)
water-soluble vitamins (Vitamins B and C)

Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the fatty tissues of the body and in the liver. Fat-soluble vitamins are easier to store than water-soluble vitamins and can remain in the body as reserves for days, some of them for months.
