NEW YORK, June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- About Vitamins
Vitamins are organic compounds that are required by living organisms in minute quantities to maintain a normal metabolic activity. These compounds usually cannot be synthesized by the organism and have to be obtained through external sources. The term "vitamin" is a generic descriptor for a group of chemical compounds or ingredients that have similar molecular structure and have the capability to perform the required vitamin-activity. These chemical compounds or vitamin ingredients are often called as vitamers. There are thirteen different known types of vitamins with each type having multiple vitamers. For instance, Vitamin A has about six vitamers: retinol, retinal, and four other carotenoids.
The demand for vitamins and subsequently for vitamin ingredients is on a continuous rise over the past two decades, owing to radical changes in lifestyles and diet patterns. We also attribute most of the vitamin deficiencies to genetic disorders and the modern food processing techniques. The causes for vitamin deficiencies are only growing stronger day by day, and this we believe shall lead to an uptrend in health disorders and subsequently in the consumption of vitamin supplements. In this report, we thus tried to capture the upstream market of vitamin supplements, i.e., vitamin ingredients.
