Vitamin Deficiencies Explained
Vitamins perform important functions for the body. They are necessary to sustain life. The body takes in vitamins from the food that we eat and it needs the proper amount of each vitamin. The recommended daily requirement of each vitamin is published by the Food and Drug Administration and most foodstuffs have their ingredients on labels with the amount of the requirement that they fulfill. The vitamins required by humans are vitamin, A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E, K and niacin, folic acid, biotin and pantothenic acid. Some of these are fat soluble, like A, D, E and K which means if the intake is greater than the need, they can build up in the fatty tissues and liver where they are stored. The others are water soluble which means the body uses what it needs and then expels the rest through urination. They can’t build up and store problems.
