Features: The purpose of this book is to help readers understand vitamin knowledge correctly. Vitamins are primarily obtained from food, so this book mainly introduces in a detailed and easy-to-understand manner the methods for effectively absorbing vitamins from food, as well as the history, types, and functions of vitamins. By selecting chapters of interest, readers can easily grasp vitamin knowledge. As your understanding of vitamins deepens, you will gradually master the vitamins essential for your body, avoiding both insufficient or excessive intake. This is the goal of this book. In today's health-conscious society, numerous products are aggressively marketed for their vitamin benefits, such as: "XX beverage contains as much vitamin C as 3 lemons" or "XX skincare cream contains vitamin E that makes the skin more beautiful." Vitamin supplements and beverages are not only popular among adults but also children, leading to a steady annual increase in sales. As a result, people have come to firmly believe that as long as they take vitamins, they will become energetic and healthy. Here, let's reflect for a moment. Vitamins are undoubtedly essential nutrients for physical health, but how exactly do they function, and in what forms? Few people understand this accurately. They are often highly evaluated based on their effects, such as "effective in treating cancer" or "can cure colds." In reality, there are still many unknown aspects of vitamins, and we hope readers will recognize this. Moreover, excessive intake is not necessarily beneficial.
