Time to break it all down in layman's terms.

Vitamins and minerals are found in foods we eat everyday. So it is important to eat the right food because each vitamin has a special function.

•Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, and streghtens bones

•Vitamin A find it in carrots helps your vision.

•Vitamin C find it in oranges helps your body heal.

•B vitamins in leafy green vegetables help your body make protein and energy.

The two types of vitamins:

Fat soluble and Water soluble.

Vitamins A, D, E, and K

So when you eat vitamins that are fat soluable they stay in the fats of the body

_____________________________________

The water soluable vitamins work alot differently. Basically the body uses what it needs, and then the rest comes out.

Vitamin C

B vitamins — B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), niacin, B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid, B12 (cobalamine), biotin, and pantothenic acid.
