Vitamins are a good friend’s body for a variety of functions. Even if only in small amounts, but vitamin with minerals each have specific functions and are included in the main nutrients the body needs.

Vitamin is an organic molecule that is necessary for the body metabolism and normal growth. This vitamin can not be produced by the body and must be met from outside the body or through food.

Lately, more and more sold food additives or food supplement and vitamins. There is a liquid, tablet, or capsule. Reasons of practicality and indiscriminate eating patterns is the reason many people in urban areas to take these supplements.

Nevertheless, dr.Fiastuti Witjaksono, Sp.GK, clinical nutritionist from Semanggi Clinic, suggested that we meet the body’s vitamin naturally, from fruits and vegetables.

“If we take supplements of vitamins, vitamin content was alone. Better to fruits or vegetables because it also contained vitamins and minerals, fiber, fluids, and other fitokemikal important,” said Fiastuti. 

Also from vitamin supplements, especially if high doses could increase the risk of excess body vitamins. You see, it could be our body is actually just a specific vitamin deficiency. If we take supplements complex, we will also get the vitamins that may not be needed by the body.

Water-soluble vitamins, like vitamin B and C, also can not be stored in large quantities in the body. ”Excess of this vitamin will be issued via the urine,” said Fiastuti. Thus be redundant if we consume water-soluble vitamins in high doses.
