Vitamins are complex chemical substances contained mainly in food. They enable the body to break down and use the basic elements of food, proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Certain vitamins are also involved in producing blood cells, hormones, genetic material and chemicals in your nervous system.
What are vitamins and how do they work? If you have read the article How Cells Work, then you know that DNA is a template for different enzymes. Enzymes help cells to carry out chemical reactions. A cell is really just an extremely sophisticated chemical machine. A vitamin is a small molecule that your body needs to carry out a certain reaction. Your body has no way to create vitamin molecules itself, so the vitamin molecules must come in through food that you eat.
