Can we get vitamins from the diets?
Varieties of natural products contain vitamin supplements. Vitamins are found in foods. They could be divided into two types - fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins.
Fat-soluble vitamins could be found in fatty foods such as butter, dairy products, liver and oily fish. Liver can function as storage. It keeps for future vitamins if our body doesn’t require them right now.
There are only three fat-soluble vitamins:
vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K.
Fruits and vegetables are the best natural products that contain water- soluble vitamins. On the contrary of fat- soluble vitamins, water – soluble could be overdosed in the organism. In this case they are removed from the body with the urine.
Examples of water-soluble vitamins
vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, folic acid ,biotin, niacin, pantotheni, acid, riboflavin (vitamin B2,) thiamin (vitamin B1).
