Why do we need vitamins ???

Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and develop normally. There are 13 vitamins your body needs. They are vitamins A, C, D, E, K and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and folate). You can usually get all your vitamins from the foods you eat. Your body can also make vitamins D and K. People who eat a vegetarian diet may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement.

Each vitamin has specific jobs. If you have low levels of certain vitamins, you may develop a deficiency disease. For example, if you don't get enough vitamin D, you could develop rickets. Some vitamins may help prevent medical problems. Vitamin A prevents night blindness.

Everybody knows that Vitamins are necessary for a human growth, but its overdose can be hazardous to health. If the body is given vitamins more in quantity than it can absorb than it can prove to be fatal. Say as in Vitamin 'E' which when taken in excess can cause fatigue, blood clots, breast tumor, and reproductive problems.
There are many Vitamins supplements but they all should be taken under the guidance of a physician.
