Vitamins and minerals are nutrients that the body requires to function properly. Vitamins can be fat-soluble or water-soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and K. Fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in fat and are stored in the body.
Vitamins are naturally occurring organic nutrients, which means they're based on the elements carbon and hydrogen. Minerals are inorganic compounds -- ones not based on carbon and hydrogen -- and are smaller particles that come mostly from natural geological processes.
