Vitamin information and links to the different types of vitamins
On this page we supply links to vitamin information. The word vitamin comes from the word "vitamine" meaning a "vital amine", but the word, without the "e" at the end became the popular term, still used today.
Vitamins are potent organic compounds that are found in small concentrations in foods, and are employed to perform specific functions in the cells and tissue.
There are certain broad terms used in nutrition and vitamin classification, such as fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins.
- Some of the fat-soluble vitamins are also classed as hormones, but for further information on these fat-soluble vitamins, please have a look at the individual information pages, which can be accessed by clicking here.
- A great amount of the water-soluble vitamins fall under the "B Complex" group, which are really all separate vitamins, but since many of the fractions were found in the same food sources, it was first thought to be only one vitamin, but later it was proven that different vitamins were involved.
The most popular water-soluble vitamin of the decade is vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and the entire class of water-soluble vitamins can be accessed by clicking here.
- There are also other nutrients, which we classed as "vitamins - other" for ease of surfing and bringing some order in accessing the different information pages. To have a look at this selection of nutrients, please click here.
