Vitamins - (pronounced) (VY-tuh-min) A nutrient that the body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy. Sources of vitamins are plant and animal foods and dietary supplements. Some vitamins are made in the human body from food. Vitamins are either fat-soluble (can dissolve in fats and oils) or water-soluble (can dissolve in water). Excess fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's adipose tissue, but excess water-soluble vitamins are excreted in the urine. Examples are vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E
