2. 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.
