Vitamins are classified according to how they absorbed and stored in the human body. Vitamins A, D, E and K are soluble in water. The body can store fat-soluble vitamins in the liver and fatty tissue. Vitamin A: there are several forms of this vitamin. The performed, or active, ones are retinol, retinoic acid, and retinyl esters. Vitamin A is essential to normal vision and to prevent night blindness. But it is also necessary for normal cell division and growth, the development of bones and teeth, and for the health of skin, mucous membranes and epithelial tissue.
