Vitamins are divided into two major groups: the ‘fat-soluble vitamins’ designated as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K, and the ‘water-soluble vitamins’ which include vitamin C and the group of molecules referred to as the vitamin B complex. Vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin, plays a really big part in eyesight and helps us to see in dim light and also at night. Vitamin B itself is a complex of different vitamins like: B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid, biotin and pantothenic acid. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that regulates the formation of bone and the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestine. It is this vitamin you need for strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D can be found in fish liver oil, egg yolks, milk and other dairy products fortified with vitamin D. The deficiency of vitamin D can cause weak bones and bowed legs (in children). Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, is essential for the inhibition of oxidation in body tissues, formation of red blood cells, and also prevents breakdown of body tissues. The deficiency of this vitamin can cause many diseases like cancer, Diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
