Vitamins

Vitamins are organic substances (or compounds) necessary in small quantities for healthy growth and development of organism.
Vitamins are required in the diet in only tiny amounts, in contrast to the energy components of the diet.
The energy components of the diet are sugars, starches, fats, and oils, and these occur in relatively large amounts in the diet.
