Vitamins

Vitamins are organic compounds, that are vital for the regulation of cell metabolism functions and for the freeing of energy from food.

Vitamins are divided into vitamins soluble in fat and soluble in water. Vitamins  soluble in fat (lipophile vitamins)  remain in the body for a relatively long period – for months or even a year. On the other hand vitamins soluble in water (hydrophile vitamins) remain, with the exception of vitamin B12, in the organism for a short time.
