Vitamins: Love them, need them, can't live without them!!


Vitamins are a group of organic substances present in food. They are essential for the proper functioning of the human body and must be introduced with food, because the body can not synthesize.
To cover the needs of vitamins, diet must be varied. Vitamins according to their solubility in 'water or fats, are divided into:
soluble (soluble in water): vitamin B1, B2, B6, PP, pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, and ascorbic acid or vitamin C (the most known). These substances should be introduced each day, because the human body is not able to accumulate and, if in excess of the required amounts are excreted in urine;
soluble (fat soluble): vitamin A, D, E and K. These substances are accumulated in the liver and adipose tissue.
Each vitamin has a very specific and irreplaceable role within the human body. The most important function is to play a protective action against various diseases and to strengthen the immune system, protecting cells from foreign substances, potentially dangerous. Regional Flavors recommended to take daily with a healthy diet and genuine.
