Vitamins Analysis Services
Vitamins are a large group of important primary metabolites, which are mainly derived from plants, animals and microorganisms. Vitamins can be classified into water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins based on their solubility properties. Vitamins are necessary in small quantities for normal health and growth in higher forms of animal life. Their functions include catalysis or regulation, facilitating or controlling vital chemical reactions in the body's cells. Inadequate intake of a particular vitamin results in a characteristic deficiency disease, the severity of which depends on the degree of vitamin deprivation. Symptoms of vitamin deprivation may be specific (e.g., functional night blindness due to vitamin A deficiency) or nonspecific (e.g., loss of appetite, failure to grow). Therefore, we should consciously supplement vitamins from plants in a timely and reasonable manner.
Over the past few decades, the importance of vitamins has become increasingly evident. Along with this, vitamins analysis is also becoming increasingly important. Alfa Chemistry has a professional team with rich analysis experience and comprehensive vitamins knowledge. We will provide you with high quality vitamins analysis services.
