AB Vitamins  are  organic  compounds  required  in  very  small  amounts  (from  a  few  micrograms  to  a  few  milligrams  daily)  to  prevent  clinical  deficiency  and  deterioration  in  health,  growth  and  reproduction.  A  distinct  feature  of  vitamins  is  that  the  human  body  is  not  able  to  synthesise  them.  Classification  of  vitamins  is  based  on  their  relative  solubility:  fat-soluble  vitamins  (A,  D,  E  and  K)  are  more  soluble  in  organic  solvents,  and  water-soluble  vitamins  (B-complex,  beta-carotene  and  C)  in  water.
