Vitamins

What are Vitamins?

Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential for our body to function properly. They are needed in small amounts and are obtained through the food we eat or supplements we take.

There are 13 vitamins that are necessary for our body. The role of vitamins includes but is not limited to energy production, immune system function, and the maintenance of healthy bones, teeth, hair, and skin. A deficiency in vitamins can lead to various health problems, the most common of them including fatigue, weakness, anaemia, and an increased risk of infections.

While a balanced diet can provide us with most of the vitamins we need, sometimes our body needs more nutrients than our diet can provide. Certain medical conditions, lifestyle choices, and age-related changes can affect our body's ability to absorb vitamins from food. For example, people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet may not get enough vitamin B12, which is found mainly in animal-based products. Similarly, older adults may have difficulty absorbing vitamin B12 from food due to changes in their digestive system.

In such cases, taking vitamin supplements can help bridge the nutrient gap and ensure that our body gets enough of the essential vitamins needed to function properly.

It's important to note that taking too much of certain vitamins can be harmful to our health. As with any supplements, it is always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider to help determine which vitamins you should be taking, in what form and for how long to make sure you are getting the most out of your treatment and not causing harm to your health in the long run.

What kinds of Vitamins are there?

There are 13 vitamins in total, and each of the vitamin groups plays an important role in our everyday functioning.

Let’s go over those vitamins and their importance to our bodies:

  • Vitamin A is essential in maintaining healthy vision, skin, and immune system function. It plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the eyes, helping to prevent night blindness and other vision problems. It also plays a vital role in maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes, which act as a barrier against infections. Vitamin A is also important for the immune system, helping to fight off infections and diseases.
  • Vitamin B is a group of vitamins that are essential for a healthy body and mind. There are eight types of B vitamins, and each plays a specific role in maintaining our health. The first group of B vitamins includes thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), and biotin (B7). These vitamins are essential for converting food into energy that our body can use.

The second group of B vitamins includes pyridoxine (B6), folate (B9), and cobalamin (B12). These vitamins are essential for healthy brain function and red blood cell production.

  • Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is important for many bodily functions. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which means it helps to protect our cells from damage caused by harmful molecules known as free radicals. It also plays a vital role in collagen synthesis, which is necessary for healthy skin, bones, and blood vessels. Additionally, vitamin C helps to enhance the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and supports the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells that fight off infections.
  • Vitamin D is a vitamin that is important for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D is unique in that it acts as a hormone, affecting many different tissues and organs in the body. It also plays a role in immune system function, cardiovascular health, and mood regulation. In recent years, vitamin D deficiency has become increasingly common, especially in areas with limited sunlight exposure. Supplementation may be necessary for those who are not getting enough vitamin D through their diet or sunlight exposure.
  • Vitamin E is a vitamin that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body, protecting our cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals. Vitamin E is essential for maintaining healthy skin and eyes and supports the immune system by enhancing the activity of white blood cells. Additionally, vitamin E plays a role in red blood cell formation and helps prevent blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
  • Vitamin K is a vitamin that is essential for blood clotting and bone health. Vitamin K works by activating proteins that are involved in the blood clotting process, helping to prevent excessive bleeding. It is also necessary for the formation of bone tissue, as it helps to activate proteins that are involved in bone mineralisation.
