What are Vitamins?

Vitamins are organic compounds that are produced outside of living organisms. Therefore humans must take in a certain amount every day. Vitamins behave as helpers to enzymes. Therefore Vitamins are also referred to as coenzymes. Vitamins are classified into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble Vitamins include Vitamins A, D, E, and K. Water-soluble Vitamins include the Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C. [LM] {MM}
