Overview

Healthy nutrition centred on vitamins refers to obtaining adequate amounts of these essential micronutrients through a balanced diet to support normal physiological function and overall well-being. Vitamins are organic compounds that the body requires in small quantities and, with few exceptions, cannot synthesize in sufficient amounts, so they must come from food. They are grouped into fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and water-soluble vitamins (the B-complex and vitamin C), and each contributes to specific processes such as vision, immune function, blood clotting, energy metabolism, antioxidant defense, and the maintenance of bones, skin, and nerves. Adequate vitamin intake supports disease prevention, while deficiencies or excesses can cause distinct health problems, making dietary variety and quality important. As a topic within the International Journal of Nutrition, healthy nutrition and vitamins connect to broader questions of diet quality, micronutrient adequacy, and the prevention of nutrition-related disease across populations and life stages. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to nutrition and dietary health, offering an encyclopedic overview of the role of vitamins for readers, students, and researchers.
