Vitamins

Vitamins are substances in foods that help chemical reactions take place in the body. Vitamins are divided into two types: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins are easily dissolved and cannot be stored in the body. When there is an excess, these vitamins are excreted in the urine. Vitamin B complex and vitamin C are water-soluble vitamins. Your body needs a fresh supply of these vitamins each day. Water-soluble vitamins are measured in milligrams.

Fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins that can be stored in the body. The liver is the main storage organ for the fat-soluble vitamins. Because your body stores fat-soluble vitamins, you do not need to consume large quantities. An excess of these vitamins is associated with headache, stomach upset, and fatigue.

Some persons decide to take vitamin pills to supplement their diet. They may take a megadose, an unusually large amount of a vitamin. Before taking a vitamin megadose, discuss the benefits or effects with a nutritionist and/or your family physician. Taking a megadose of some vitamins may produce harmful side effects. Taking vitamin pills is never a substitute for eating foods that contain those vitamins.

Minerals

Five percent of your body weight is made up of minerals.

Minerals are nutrients that regulate many of the chemical reactions in your body. The seven minerals found in the largest amounts are calcium, chlorine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and sulfur. Some food sources, such as leafy green vegetables, are excellent sources of both vitamins and the minerals calcium and iron.
