Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins are nutrients required in very
small amounts for essential metabolic
reactions in the body.
Other essential nutrients for health include
many dietary minerals, essential fatty
acids, and essential amino acids. A large
number of other nutrients exist in foods
that promote health, but are not classed as
essential for life.
Until the 19th Century, vitamins were
obtained solely through food intake. Many
food sources contain different ratios of
vitamins. Therefore, if the only source of
vitamins is food, changes in diet will alter
the types and amounts of vitamins ingested.
However, as the body can store many
vitamins, short-term deficiencies do not
usually lead to medical problems.
Vitamins and minerals have been made widely
available in capsule, tablet, powder and
liquid forms for several decades and allow
for supplementation of the daily dietary
intake.
