How do vitamins work? - Ginnie Trinh Nguyen
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
Vitamins are organic compounds that we need to ingest in small amounts to keep our bodies functioning properly.
- 2
Vitamins come in two types: lipid-soluble and water-soluble, which determines how the body transports, stores, and gets rid of any excess.
- 3
Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins need proteins to transport them into the blood and around the body.
