Vitamins are divided into “fat-soluble” and “water-soluble” vitamins according to their chemical properties. Vitamins are organic compounds that are required for vital functions and processes of the human organism, but are not a source of energy. As a rule, our body cannot synthesize vitamins itself, or cannot synthesize them sufficiently, and they must be taken in through food. There are essentially thirteen vitamins that are important for the body, namely A, C, D, E, K and all eight B vitamins. (Note: A, D, E and K are fat-soluble)

Of course, vitamins are essential for our metabolism. They are generally of plant origin (B vitamins) and are therefore mainly found in fruit and vegetables in our daily diet. Vitamins have no energy value, which means they do not release calories. Each individual vitamin has a specific function - none can replace another. Did you know that vitamin C is sensitive to cooking and air, but freezing causes only minor losses?
