Different Types of Vitamins and their Functions

Vitamins are nutrients for human body needs to function and fight off disease. Human

body cannot produce vitamins itself, so we must get them through food you eat or in

some cases supplements.

Vitamin was invented by Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins. The term vitamin was

coined by Casimir Funk.

There are 13 vitamins that are essential to our body working well. Knowledge of the

different types and understanding the purpose of these vitamins are important for good

health.

Types and Examples of Foods

On the basis of solubility, there are two types of vitamins: fat-soluble vitamins and

water-soluble vitamins.

A. Fat-soluble Vitamins are stored in your fat cells, consequently requiring fat in order

to be absorbed.

The fat soluble vitamins: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E & Vitamin K

B. Water-soluble Vitamins are not stored in your body; therefore, they need to be

replenished daily. Your body takes what it needs from the food you eat and then

excretes what is not needed as waste. Here is a list of vitamin types and some common

food sources:

The water soluble vitamins: Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin

B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C.
