I. Overview of the functions of vitamins
Vitamins are a large family, with dozens of known vitamins, which can be broadly divided into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble. The former includes vitamins A, D, E, and K, while the latter includes the B vitamins, vitamin C, and many "vitamin-like substances."
The main vitamins discovered in modern medicine are:
fat-soluble vitamins
Vitamin A: Maintains normal vision and prevents night blindness; maintains healthy epithelial tissues; promotes growth and development; increases resistance to infectious diseases; and prevents and treats dry eye.
Vitamin D: Regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body, promotes absorption and utilization, and promotes bone growth.
Vitamin E: Maintains normal reproductive capacity and normal muscle metabolism; maintains the integrity of the central nervous system and vascular system.

Vitamin B2: Also known as riboflavin. Riboflavin is a component of many important coenzymes in the body. These enzymes transfer hydrogen during metabolism, and it is essential for protein, sugar, and fatty acid metabolism, as well as energy utilization and composition. It promotes growth and development and protects the health of the eyes and skin.
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5): anti-stress, anti-cold, anti-infection, prevents the toxicity of certain antibiotics, and eliminates postoperative abdominal distension.
Vitamin B6 plays an important role in protein metabolism. It is also used to treat neurasthenia, dizziness, and atherosclerosis.
Vitamin B12: combats fatty liver, promotes the storage of vitamin A in the liver; promotes cell development and maturation and body metabolism; treats pernicious anemia.
Vitamin B13 (ortho-oxygenated lactate).
Vitamin B15 (panthenine): Primarily used to combat fatty liver and improve tissue oxygen metabolism. Sometimes used to treat coronary heart disease and chronic alcoholism.
Vitamin B17: Highly toxic. Some believe it has a role in controlling and preventing cancer.
Para-aminobenzoic acid: One of the most recently discovered vitamins in the B vitamin group. It can be synthesized in the human body.
Inositol: A type of B vitamin, and like choline, it is a lipophilic vitamin.
Vitamin C: Connects the structure of bones, teeth, and connective tissue; has an adhesive function between cells of capillary walls; increases antibodies and enhances immunity; promotes red blood cell maturation.
Vitamin P.
Vitamin PP (niacin): plays a role in hydrogen transfer during cellular physiological oxidation and has the effect of preventing and treating pellagra.
