Vitamins,Their Scientific Names, Dificiency Disease and Food Sources

  By GK Planet Team       Friday, 13 November 2015
A vitamin is an organic compound and a vital nutrient that an organism requires in limited amounts. Vitamins have diverse biochemical functions. Some, such as vitamin D, have hormone-like functions as regulators of mineral metabolism, or regulators of cell and tissue growth and differentiation (such as some forms of vitamin A). Others function as antioxidants (e.g., vitamin E and sometimes vitamin C).
Fat Soluble Vitamins: A,D,E and K. If these are taken in excess, they causes a condition known as Hyper Vitaminosis (cause of hair cracked mouth)
Water Soluble Vitamins: B,C and P. If these vitamins are taken in excess, they washed away.
