About Vitamins
Vitamins are substances that are found in foods we eat. The term vitamin is derived from the words vital and amine, because vitamins are required for life and were originally thought to be amines. All vitamins are not amines. Vitamins are different in their chemistry, but they all are organic nutrients that are necessary in small amounts for normal metabolism and good health. Most vitamins must be provided by the diet or by supplements; only three vitamins (D, K, and the B vitamin biotin) can be manufactured in the body from non dietary sources. Vitamins are not sources of energy as are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Instead, vitamins serve as chemical partners for the enzymes involved in the body`s metabolism, cell production, tissue repair, and other vital processes. Vitamins serve crucial functions in almost all bodily processes example immune, hormonal and nervous systems.
In humans there are thirteen vitamins, divided into two groups. They are fat soluble and water soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the fat tissues in your body and in your liver. They go and wait around in your body fat until your body needs them. Water-soluble vitamins are different. Water-soluble vitamins, the vitamins don`t get stored as much in body. Instead, they travel through bloodstream comes out when urinate if body don`t used it.
In humans there are thirteen vitamins, divided into two groups; four fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), and nine water-soluble vitamins (eight B vitamins and vitamin C).

Home Delivery for Vitamins in Your City

Medicine India is just a publishing medium for medicine related information and does not provide services or sales of medicines including vitamins.

However, we do publish a comprehensive directory of Pharmacies, Chemists and Druggists in cities all over India. You can use this directory to find the medicine stores in your city (or area) that provide home delivery services for vitamins and other medicines and health products. Home delivery services for vitamins may be free or they may cost you depending on the pharmacy and the minimum order requirements. It would be best to get this clarified while placing the order.

Please be aware that you should take vitamins only if a doctor has recommended or prescribed it. Some or all pharmacies who provide a home delivery service for medicines might insist on a prescription for vitamins before they complete the sale. You can get this information while placing the order for vitamins with the pharmacy.

Vitamins is a generic medicine name and there are several brands available for it. Some of the brands for vitamins might be better known than vitamins itself. If the pharmacy that's willing to deliver medicines to your home doesn't have vitamins in stock, you can ask for one of the branded alternatives for vitamins.
