Vitamin Supplements
Vitamins
A Vitamin is an organic molecule required by a living organism
in minute amounts for proper health. An organism deprived of all
sources of a particular vitamin will eventually suffer from
disease symptoms specific to that vitamin.
Vitamins can be classified as either water soluble, which means
they dissolve easily in water, or fat soluble, which means they
are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of
lipids. In general, an organism must obtain vitamins or their
metabolic precursors from outside the body, most often from the
organism's diet. Examples of vitamins that the human body can
derive from precursors include vitamin A, which can be produced
from beta carotene; niacin from the amino acid tryptophan; and
vitamin D through exposure of skin to ultraviolet light.
The word vitamin was coined by the Polish biochemist Casimir
Funk in 1912. Vita in Latin is life and the -amin suffix is
short for amine; at the time it was thought that all vitamins
were amines. Though this is now known to be incorrect, the
name
has stuck. Human vitamins
In humans, there are thirteen vitamins, divided into two groups,
the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) and the nine water
soluble vitamins (eight B vitamins and vitamin C).
Some of the vitamins are known by other names in older
literature. Vitamin B2 is also referred to as Vitamin G. Vitamin
B7, or biotin is also referred to as "Vitamin H." Vitamin B9, or
folic acid and other folates such "Vitamin M
-Pteryl-tri-glutamic acid" are refered to as Folicin. Vitamin B3
is also referred to as "Vitamin PP", a name derived from the
obsolete term "pellagra-preventing factor". Many other essential
dietary substances were originally called vitamins and are now
classified differently.
