Vitamins are widely used in a variety of end-use industries, including food and beverages, medicines, animal feed, and personal care.

 

Vitamins 

Vitamins are chemical molecules that are required in minute amounts by all organisms for normal growth and development of the body. Vitamin deficiency illnesses and disorders such as night blindness, xerophthalmia, and keratomalacia can result from a lack of these vitamins. Growing consumer awareness of different vitamin deficient ailments throughout the world is likely to drive growth in the global vitamin market. These vitamins are divided into two categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble.

Micronutrient deficiency is a global public health, clinical medicine, and social policy challenge owing to a lack of food security, monitoring, and education in the emerging and underdeveloped regions. These deficiencies in children are primarily caused by a lack of Vitamins A and D, as well as a lack of iodine and iron, as well as clinical anaemia and rickets. In addition, several chronic disorders in adults, such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, colorectal cancer, thyroid deficit, and cardiovascular disease, are predominantly associated to vitamin D and iodine deficiency.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 250 million preschool children are vitamin A deficient in 2012, and it is believed that a significant number of pregnant women are vitamin A deficient in vitamin A poor areas.

Vitamins are necessary substances that allow your body to function correctly and stay healthy. The majority of vitamins are found in food or can be obtained through vitamin supplements. Vitamins are essential for good health since they serve hundreds of functions.

Vitamin nutrients assist your body in performing key processes such as:

·        help with skin, bone, and muscle upkeep

·        assisting your immune system

·        cell, tissue, and organ maintenance and repair

·        transforming food into energy

Fat Soluble Vitamins are fat-soluble (lipid). They are absorbed as fat globules, which go into general blood circulation via your small intestine's lymphatic system. Once inside your body, they are normally stored in your liver and fatty tissues for future use.

Water-soluble vitamins are vitamins that can be dissolved in water. Because most water-soluble vitamins are not stored in your body, you must consume them on a regular basis to restore reserves. Once the nutrients have been absorbed, your body swiftly eliminates any surplus, often through the urine.
