Vitamins
Vitamins are substances which are essential for health but which the body cannot make for itself either in sufficient quantity or at all. Vitamin D is an exceptional case as will be described later. Some vitamins are needed in only minute amounts, such as vitamin B12 (about 0.1–1.0 µg per day), while others are required in relatively large amounts, such as vitamin C (about 30–50 mg per day). Not all animals require the
same vitamins.
