What are vitamins?
Vitamins are natural substances found in plants and animals. Your body uses them to stay healthy and support its many functions. There are 2 types of vitamins: water-soluble and fat-soluble.
What are water-soluble vitamins?
Water-soluble vitamins are easily absorbed by your body. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins, they don't have to be absorbed using bile acids(fluids used to digest fats). Your body doesn't store large amounts of water-soluble vitamins. The water-soluble vitamins you don't need are removed by your kidneys and come out in your urine.
What are fat-soluble vitamins?
Your body has to use bile acids to absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Once these vitamins are absorbed, your body stores them in body fat. When you need them, your body takes them out of storage to be used. Eating fats or oils that are not digested can cause shortages of fat-soluble vitamins. This includes using mineral oil frequently to treat constipation or eating the fat substitute Olestra.
What are minerals?
Minerals come from the earth or from water. Plants and animals absorb them to get nutrients.
Do I need to take vitamin and mineral pills?
The best way to obtain the vitamins and minerals your body requires is from the food you eat. You should never take extra vitamins and minerals without talking to your doctor first. However, your doctor may suggest taking extra vitamins or minerals if you have certain health problems. You also may need more vitamins and minerals at certain times in your life.
Can vitamin and mineral pills be dangerous?
Vitamins and minerals aren’t dangerous unless you get too much of them. It would be hard to “overdose” on vitamins or minerals you get from food, but supplements require greater attention. There is a greater risk if you take fat-soluble vitamins. Taking too much can cause problems with some medical tests or get in the way of how some drugs work. It’s very important to talk with your doctor before you take any vitamin and mineral pills, especially if you take prescription medicines, have any health problems or are elderly.
