Vitamins

Vitamins are organic substances necessary for our body, which cannot be synthesized by the body itself (with few exceptions) and come with food. Vitamins ensure vital processes in the body and influence our general well-being. The very name of the active substances comes from the Latin vita – life. They have a fairly simple low molecular structure and variability of the chemical nature. There is a separate science – vitaminology, which studies the structure, the mechanism of vitamins’ effect on a person, ways of using them to prevent and treat a variety of pathologies. Vitaminology combines the knowledge of biochemistry, pharmacology, medicine and food hygiene.
