Vitamins


	Vitamins are essential to life. They help the body in regulating metabolism and assist in the biochemical processes that release energy from food. There are two types of vitamins: water soluble and fat soluble. Water soluble vitamins must be taken daily, because they are excreted by the kidneys. The fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) can be stored in the body's fatty tissues.
