Description

Vitamins are a group of essential organic compounds required in small quantities to support normal physiological functions, growth, and metabolism. They cannot be synthesized in sufficient amounts by the human body and must be obtained from dietary sources or supplements. Vitamins are widely used in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, food fortification, animal nutrition, and cosmetic formulations. Each vitamin plays a unique biological role and is classified as either water-soluble (e.g., B-complex, C) or fat-soluble (e.g., A, D, E, K).
