VITAMINS are a group of organic nutrients, which are essential to regulate the chemical processes in the body. Vitamins must be obtained from the foods in our diet or supplementation, they cannot be made in the body.

As our understanding of the benefits of vitamin supplementation combined with a nutritious whole food diet increases, the focus of Vitamin research is changing to evaluate how these nutrients can play a role in reducing the risk of developing chronic degenerative diseases, rather than preventing classic vitamin deficiency.

There are two main groups of vitamins:

FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS such a vitamins A, D and E which can be dissolved in fat and stored in the body.

WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMINS such as the B vitamins and vitamin C, which dissolve in water and are not stored in the body. These water-soluble vitamins need to be replenished on a daily basis.
