It is widely acknowledged that the consumption of vitamins with the diet is indispensable, as they play a crucial role in proper development and functioning of the body. It is important to stress that a balance in diet can fully satisfy the body's demand for these compounds, without the necessity for external supplementation. Not only the quantity of vitamins but also the method of their provision is significant, as it determines the conditions for maximum uptake and absorption of the substances. Vitamins are exogenous compounds that are not synthesized in the body and must be supplied through diet. Based on their physical properties, vitamins can be categorized as hydrophilic or hydrophobic.

Vitamins soluble in water

Vitamins soluble in water play a crucial role as coenzymes in numerous chemical reactions that occur during the transformation of nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Moreover, they also regulate the mineral metabolism of the body. Vitamins soluble in water are not stored in the body (with the exception of vitamin B12), and their excess is excreted with urine in the renal corpuscle. Therefore, it is so vital to provide them daily with food. Below is a list of vitamins soluble in water along with their requirements and sources [1].
