Vitamins are micronutrients required by the
human body. The body needs them for normal cell
function, growth, and metabolism.
However, our bodies don't produce these
micronutrients on their own. The food we eat
provides us with these nutrients.
The best way to obtain vitamins daily is
through a proper diet.
There are 13 essential vitamins that we need
to maintain our metabolism.
There are two types of vitamins: fat-
soluble and water-soluble.
Vitamins

Hello, I am Vitamin A, also known as Retinol. I
am a fat-soluble vitamin.
I am present in carrots, tomatoes, spinach,
broccoli, and many more.
After you consume me, I will get stored in your
liver or adipose tissue.
You should at least consume 700 mcg of me daily.
 I am responsible for proper eye health, immune
function, cell growth, and organ function.
If you don't consume me in adequate amounts, you
will experience night blindness, frequent
infections, and stunted growth.
Consuming me in excess results in vitamin
toxicity that causes partial hair loss and dry
skin.
Vitamin A

Hello, I am vitamin E, also known as Tocopherol.
I am a fat-soluble vitamin and am present in
plant-based oils, nuts, seeds, fruits, and
vegetables.

tissue and the liver.

strengthen natural defense against illness and
infection.

disease, cystic fibrosis, and certain rare genetic
diseases such as Abetalipoproteinemia and Ataxia.

Vitamin E

Hello, I am vitamin D, also known as Cholecalciferol.

I am a fat-soluble vitamin. I am present in fish,

Regular sun exposure is the most natural way to get
me.

toxicity leads to the accumulation of calcium in your
