Vitamins
Vitamins are a general term for a series of organic compounds. They are one of the six nutrients required by the human body and play an important role in regulating metabolism, immune response and overall health. Most vitamins cannot be produced by organisms themselves and must be taken from food. Only a few can be synthesized in the body or produced by intestinal microorganisms.
TYPES of vitamins
The dozens of vitamins known so far are mainly divided into two categories: fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins.
- Fat-Soluble Vitamins: easily soluble in non-polar organic solvents but not soluble in water, can be absorbed by the human body with fat and stored in the body, and the excretion rate is not high. For example, vitamins A, D, E, and K.
- Water-Soluble Vitamins: easily soluble in water but not soluble in non-polar organic solvents, very little is stored in the body after absorption, and excess is mostly excreted in the urine. For example, vitamins B and C.
function of vitamins
- Regulating Metabolism: Vitamins act as cofactors and coenzymes to promote the conversion of nutrients, maintain and regulate the body’s metabolism. For example, B vitamins are essential cofactors in the metabolic process of the host and intestinal microorganisms.
- Protecting Cells: Specific vitamin components can act to maintain normal cell function and structure. Vitamin A promotes cell differentiation, growth and development, and vitamin E generally acts as an antioxidant to protect cell membranes from oxidative damage.
- Enhancing Immunity: Vitamins participate in the body’s immune process, can enhance the body’s immune function, and help resist the invasion of pathogenic factors. For example, supplementing with adequate vitamin A can enhance the immune function of children and minimize inflammatory responses.
- Bone and Skin Health: Vitamins are also important for maintaining bone health. Calciferol (vitamin D), often called the sunshine vitamin, helps regulate serum calcium levels and therefore supports bone health.
