VITAMINS

A vitamin is another word for Vital Mineral. minerals are non-living elements aka inorganic elements. Inorganic elements have an absence of carbon. Organic elements contain carbon. Vitamins (minerals) that stimulate action in the body are known as hormones. Vitamins that assist in actions taking place in the body are known as enzymes. Minerals stabilize, vitamins energize, enzymes assist and hormones stimulate. Vitamins are either water soluble (dissolve in water) or oil soluble (dissolves in oil). Water soluble vitamins are easily depleted faster than oil soluble vitamins because oil soluble vitamins are stored in the body longer because they are stored in body fat.
