General Information
 

Vitamins & Sources


Vitamins don't give you calories or energy but do help you stay healthy. You cannot make vitamins so you must get them from the foods you eat.Vitamins are only needed in small amounts and most people can meet their vitamin needs by eating a variety of healthy foods. Some people may need extra vitamins to help them meet their special needs.



There are two types of vitamins:
  • Water soluble vitamins include vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, vitamin C, biotin and folate. They are not stored in large amounts in the body, and any extra is lost through your urine.
  • Fat soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E and K and they can be stored in your body. High amounts of fat soluble vitamins are not recommended, as these can cause health problems.
