Vitamins and minerals

Essential for your body and really tasty in the right form: vitamins and minerals are an integral part of a balanced diet and essential for all people. But not all vitamins are the same! Some of the nutrients are fat-soluble, others water-soluble, some help to maintain bones, others support the immune system. And some vitamins are actually not vitamins - vitamin D, for example, because the body can produce it itself. If you want to know what folic acid, pantothenic acid and all the other micronutrients can do, what they contain and how you can ensure sufficient intake through food, you will find the most important information in a compact overview on the following pages.
