Vitamins are organic substances which are essential for the growth and functioning of the organism. These vitamins are provided by food, they cannot be synthesized by the body (except vitamin D). Their absence or insufficiency in the diet causes states of deficiency.
Vitamins are substances which have no energy value, but which are essential for our health. A distinction is made between fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E and K) which can be stored by the body, and water-soluble vitamins which are generally not stored. Vitamin losses are therefore inevitable and must be compensated for by a regular intake, paying attention to the great sensitivity of natural vitamins to heat, light, or oxidation of the air.
Vitamin D , which is usually supplied by the sun's rays, helps build bones and assimilate calcium. It prevents or decreases cardiovascular disease, cramps, bone rickets and osteoporosis. Vitamin D supplements can come in the form of tablets, drops or capsules.
Vitamin B is complex because it is made up of several other vitamins:
Food supplements that provide a supply of B vitamins come in the form of capsules, swallowable, melt or chew tablets, or capsules.
Vitamin C promotes the elimination of toxins, collagen production, wound healing, bacterial immunity, cortisone production, iron binding, and nervous system and muscle function. It prevents or decreases oxidatin, osteoporosis, dental diseases, diabetes, tachycardia, colds and infections. Vitamin C is also called ascorbic acid. To strengthen vitamin C intake, there are film-coated tablets, effervescent, to suck or chew, as well as capsules based on cherry or acerola.
An adequate supply of vitamins thus promotes the prevention of numerous pathologies (cardiovascular, cancerological, etc.). Fortunately, our diet allows us to cover most of our vitamin needs. But in some cases, additional intake may be necessary, being careful to respect the recommended daily intake in order to avoid hypervitaminosis which can cause various pathologies.
