  i.e viatal amino acids.

  not aminoacids.
• Some vitamins are amino acids but all the amino
  acids are not viatamins.

• Each vitamin has its own significant historical
  background.
• H.J. funk has coined the term vitamns.
• Even though vitamins are very less in requirement
  but they play very significant role in our body
  growth , and regulation of different metabolic
