Answer:
b. False
Step-by-step explanation:
Vitamins are a vital part of a healthy diet. The recommended daily amount has been determined for almost all of them, that is, the amount that most healthy people need to take each day to stay healthy. The upper safety limit (maximum amount that can be ingested) of some of them has also been set. If a larger amount is consumed, the risk of a harmful effect (toxicity) is increased.
On the other hand, consuming a small amount of a vitamin can cause an eating disorder, although the probability of developing a vitamin deficiency is low if you have a varied diet.
Some vitamins, such as A, D, E and K, dissolve in fat (fat soluble). Other vitamins, such as B and C, dissolve in water (water soluble). The vitamins of group B are biotin, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin (vitamin B2), thiamine (vitamin B1) and vitamins B6 (pyridoxine) and B12 (cobalamin)
Keep in mind that while vitamins are organic substances (of animal or vegetable origin), minerals are inorganic substances from land or water, which plants absorb or that animals ingest.
