Vitamins - What are they?

What are Vitamins?

Whether it's workout blends, protein bars, or other products, manufacturers require various ingredients to create these valuable items for the market. Vitamins are essential substances that support the proper functioning and metabolism of the body. While they are available through diet and lifestyle choices, they are also artificially manufactured to provide additional supplementation.

The manufacturing process of vitamins typically involves four stages.

1. The raw materials are thoroughly checked for their purity and strength.
2. The product undergoes concentration and purification to achieve the desired purity level and standardized strength.
3. The vitamin is pre-blended and prepared for its final use in blending or tabletting.
4. the product is packaged and made available for resale.

Among the commonly manufactured vitamins, B and C are widely produced. However, each vitamin offers various benefits contributing to overall health and well-being. These benefits include:

Vitamin A   :   Regulates and supports vision, bodily immune function & cellular growth/differentiation.

Vitamin B   :   A Part of Energy production, metabolism, and maintaining the nervous system & an enzyme precursor/cofactor.

Vitamin C   :   An antioxidant that supports immune function & collagen synthesis.

Vitamin D   :   Aids in calcium absorption whilst promoting bone health & contributing to immune system regulation.

Vitamin E   :   An antioxidant that protects cell membranes & helps maintain healthy skin/eyes.

All these vitamins can be tableted, blended or sold in base form to suit the customer's requirements. The applications for vitamins are incredibly vast - as there is a breadth of different types of vitamins available on the market. As such, beyond being sold as-is, you can find them in multivitamins, medicines, workout blends, food, beverages and much more.
