How many Vitamins are there?
Vitamins are a group of essential nutrients that enable our body to function properly and to stay healthy, by fighting off with diseases.
Our body cannot produce vitamins itself, so we must get them through the food we eat or in some cases through the supplements.
Vitamins are divided into two parts :
1. Fat-Soluble: These vitamins are stored in our fat cells, so it requires fat in order to be absorbed.
