Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue, mucus membranes, and skin. Vitamin B6 is also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 helps form red blood cells and maintain brain function. This vitamin also plays an important role in the proteins that are part of many chemical reactions in the body.

Answer & Explanation:

Vitamins are not a source of energy, but rather, function as helpers in many body processes. They do everything from act as coenzymes to help digest food to build bone, to help with iron absorption. Many vitamins have specialty purposes. For example, vitamin D helps build bone along with calcium.
