Vitamins are micronutrients that are necessary for maintaining a healthy and strong body. They play an essential role in muscle and nerve function, the digestive system, metabolism, and the immune system. Like water, vitamins are essential for maintaining human health, but since the body cannot produce them, they must be regularly replenished.
Vitamins are broadly divided into two types: water-soluble and fat-soluble . Water-soluble vitamins (such as B vitamins and vitamin C) dissolve in water and are broken down quickly in our bodies. Water-soluble vitamins are also essential nutrients and therefore need to be taken more frequently than fat-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K) require fat to be absorbed and effective in the human body. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body in the same way as fat, so they do not need to be taken as frequently as water-soluble vitamins.
To ensure that you get the vitamins you need every day, remember that "diverse nutrients are the food of life"! Fortunately, there are countless foods rich in nutrients around us, and we can get nutrients from a variety of foods. Not only dietary supplements such as meat, milk, and bread, but also many vegetables and fruits contain many essential nutrients, so by consuming a wide range of foods, you can get a lot of valuable vitamins. Of course, one efficient and safe way to take vitamins is through micro drinks! They come in a variety of delicious and unique flavors and contain many nutrients that are effective in helping you achieve your daily required intake.
