Detailed explanation-1: -Contrary to popular belief, vitamins do not directly provide energy. As catalysts, vitamins are required for the release of energy from protein, fat and carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamins and minerals do not provide energy themselves. However, they do perform many vital functions in the process of converting proteins and carbohydrates into fuel that the body can use, so eating food rich in vitamins and minerals can make you feel more energetic.
Detailed explanation-3: -The fat-soluble vitamins-A, D, E, and K-dissolve in fat and are stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins-C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate)-dissolve in water. Your body can’t store these vitamins.
