Vitamin Blood Test Packages

Vitamins are microorganisms that have extreme importance in our human body. Our body organs need vitamins for their proper functioning. But our human body cannot originate any vitamins on their own. We need to derive it from the foods we eat on a day to day basis.

There are mainly two types of vitamins which are water-soluble and fat-soluble. Our body is able to store only fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin K. Water soluble vitamins cannot be stored in our body, as they leave our body through urine.
