Vitamin is a type of organic molecule (or a set of closely related molecules called vitamers) that is an essential micronutrient for an organism. It cannot be synthesized in the organism in sufficient quantities, and therefore must be obtained through the diet. Vitamins are classified into two groups: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins.
