VITAMINS: CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND DEFICIENCY CONDITIONS

Аннотация

This article discusses the chemical structure of vitamins, their solubility in water and fats, their biological importance in the human body, and their role in metabolic processes. Each type of vitamin is examined individually, including their chemical properties, synthesis, and storage conditions. Furthermore, the article elaborates on pathological conditions associated with vitamin deficiencies—such as hypovitaminosis and avitaminosis—their clinical signs and consequences. The article is of significant importance in preventing health issues related to vitamin deficiencies and serves as a useful source for researchers in the fields of medicine and biology, as well as for practicing professionals.
