Vitaminology

Vitaminology is a science that studies vitamins and their effects on the body. Also falls within the purview of nutritional science

Vitamins are low molecular weight organic compounds of various chemical structures. Their main function is to regulate metabolism in the body, but some vitamins are also coenzymes necessary for the normal course of biochemical reactions. They are divided into three large groups: water-soluble - C, B, PP, and fat-soluble: A, D, E and K. In addition, there are vitamins that are currently recognized as conditionally water-soluble - group B.

There are vitamins:

* **Water-soluble** - highly soluble in water, most of the vitamins in this group are hydrophilic and dissolve in water (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C); * **Fat soluble** - have less solubility in water. Their molecules easily combine with esters and esters of fatty acids, therefore they are poorly or practically insoluble in water (A, D, E, F, K, PP) * **Problematic ** - properties have not been sufficiently studied. This is first of all

**Vitaminology: a new word in nutrition and medicine**

Vitaminology is the science of vitamins and their role in the human body. This is a branch of medicine that studies the effect of vitamins on human health and how to obtain them. In this article, we'll look at the basics of vitaminology, its importance to human health, and how it can help us stay healthy and happy.

So, what are vitamins? These are biologically active
