Uses of Vitamins Explained | Benefits, Sources & Functions of All Vitamins
What are vitamins and why are they important for health? In this lecture, we explain the uses, benefits, and food sources of all the essential vitamins — both fat-soluble and water-soluble. Vitamins are vital nutrients that the body cannot produce in enough quantity, so they must be obtained from food or supplements.
