Allergy shots help your body get used to allergens, the things that trigger an allergic reaction. They donât cure allergies, but eventually your symptoms will get better and you may not have allergic reactions as often.
The difference between food and nutrient? The term nutrient describes substances that are required by the body to live and function. Foods are comprised of various nutrient values (some better than others).
Vitamins are organic compounds which are needed in small quantities to sustain life. We get vitamins from food, because the human body either does not produce enough of them, or none at all. An organic compound contains carbon. When an organism (living thing) cannot produce enough of an organic chemical compound that it needs in tiny amounts, and has to get it from food, it is called a vitamin.
