There are two different classifications of vitamins which are fat soluble and water soluble. The fat soluble is found in several different vitamins like A and E. These vitamins are can be found in fatty tissues and even the liver. They are vitamins that are not able to liquefy in water however; they are able to dissolve through a person’s fat tissues. The ability to store these vitamins does allow an individual to not have to take them on a daily basis. However, it is important to remember that taking to many vitamins can lead to build up which can create medical problems. Vitamins like C and B are considered your water soluble that unlike fat soluble cannot be stored in the body. These sources of vitamins require that we have a daily intake because of the fact that our bodies are unable to store them. The lack of buildup does decrease the chances of water soluble vitamins creating medical problems unless too much is consumed and the body is not able to get rid of them by flushing it out of our systems. (Bland, J. 1996)
Vitamins intake plays a very important role for our bodies. Generally people take vitamins in helping their body receive the right nutrients that we require. When a healthy diet is not consumed an individual is unable to get the vitamins they need. Vitamins in small amounts are essential nutrients that the body requires for several different reasons in the human body. For example, vitamins help with the growth of an individual’s cell, hormone, metabolism and even the immune system. Vitamins are also play an important role in the reproductive system. Even though you try and eat a healthy balanced diet it is impossible to receive all the vitamins you need from one food group, therefore taking vitamins is another way to ensure that an individual is getting the right amount and types of vitamins that are bodies need.
