By the way, the person who can do the most for your health is yourself. Vitamins are natural compounds vital to human life. They fulfill purposes within the body, such as: Helping to control the body's chemical processes, metabolic functions, by helping the body take in other nutrients, and by serving as antioxidants (chemicals that decrease cell damage caused by destructive compounds, call free radicals, which are formed during normal metabolism). Vitamins are either fat-soluble or water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, and K) dissolve only in fat and are stored in fat tissue and in the liver. For them to get absorbed correctly they should be taken with foods containing some fat. Water-soluble vitamins (Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, and Vitamin C) are urinated out of the body daily; and as a result, these vitamins need to be replenished on a daily basis.
