Description

Vitamins are organic compounds. That is, they occur naturally in plants, animals, and humans. There are 13 different vitamins. Unlike fat, protein and carbohydrates, the human body cannot use them as energy sources. He needs them for other vital body functions, such as the immune system, energy production, brain function or growth. The body can neither produce most vitamins itself nor store them in the long term. For this reason, they must be consumed daily through food. This is especially important for children. Because as the body grows, it needs more vitamins.
