Vitamins

Vitamins are essential for the body; they are needed for normal metabolism, growth and well being. Each vitamin also has its own specific functions. Vitamins are not made in the body so need to be supplied by our diets. There are 13 major vitamins divided into two groups, either fat-soluble or water-soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are stored in the body, whilst water-soluble vitamins such as B and C are stored to a much lesser extent. Regular intake is therefore important.

Minerals

Minerals are required for growth and well being. Like vitamins, each mineral has specific functions, and minerals are also not made in the body and again need to be supplied from our diets. Minerals are absorbed from the earth by plants and then enter our bodies through food. There are 18 elements classed as minerals or trace elements that are recognized to have a role in our metabolism. The difference between minerals and trace elements is the amount required in a balanced diet; minerals are required in greater quantity than trace elements.
