Vitamins are organic compounds that people need in small quantities. Most vitamins need to come from food because the body either does not produce them or produces very little. Each organism has different vitamin requirements. For example, humans need to get vitamin C from their diets — while dogs can produce all the vitamin C that they need.
Different vitamins play different roles in the body, and a person requires a different amount of each vitamin to stay healthy. This article explains what vitamins are, what they do, and which foods are good sources. Follow this below video for more information about each vitamin you should know.

Summary:
👉 1- What Are Vitamins?. Vitamins are organic substances present in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs. Having too little of any particular vitamin may increase the risk of developing certain health issues.
A vitamin is an organic compound, which means that it contains carbon. It is also an essential nutrient that the body may need to get from food.
There are currently 13 recognized vitamins.
👉 2- Fat-Soluble And Water-Soluble Vitamins. Vitamins are either soluble, or dissolvable, in fat or water. We describe both types below:
Liquid (Fat) soluble vitamins
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble. The body stores fat-soluble vitamins in fatty tissue and the liver, and reserves of these vitamins can stay in the body for days and sometimes months.
Dietary fats help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins through the intestinal tract.
Water-soluble vitamins
Water-soluble vitamins do not stay in the body for long and cannot be stored. They leave the body via the urine. Because of this, people need a more regular supply of water-soluble vitamins than fat-soluble ones.
Vitamin C and all the B vitamins are water soluble.
