Vitamin Benefits

Vitamin benefits are numerous, and most people know about several of them. For example, many people understand vitamin D comes from the sun and realize how significant it is to our body’s overall health. But what other benefits do vitamins hold? And how many of them are there? Those are the questions we hope to answer in this article.

What categories of vitamins are there?

There are two categories when it comes to vitamins. There are fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins exist in the body’s fatty tissues, muscles, and liver. These vitamins consist of vitamins A, D, E, and K. Water-soluble vitamins are different because your body does not store them. For instance, you must consume vitamins C and B regularly to keep the body healthy.

The Different Vitamins and What They Do

So what are the different types of vitamins? You may be familiar with vitamins A, C, and D. Vitamin A helps maintain healthy teeth, bones, and skin. Vitamin C allows the body to absorb iron and keep its tissue healthy. Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, helps you absorb calcium, allowing you to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus.

Aside from the more commonly known vitamins, there are vitamins B6, B12, E, K, Biotin, Thiamine, and Niacin. Vitamin B6 helps form red blood cells and maintain a healthy brain. It is also vital in supporting the proteins that occur in the many chemical reactions in your body. B12 helps your metabolism and also supports the central nervous system. Vitamin E helps build red blood cells, and vitamin K assists in their coagulation. Biotin is essential in producing hormones, cholesterol, protein, and carbohydrates. Thiamine turns carbohydrates into energy, and Niacin helps maintain healthy skin and nerves. These are a few basic examples of vitamins your body requires to stay healthy, and there are many additional essential vitamins your body needs.
