Vitamins are essential organic compounds that the body requires in small amounts for a wide range of biochemical processes. They play roles in energy metabolism, immune function, cell repair, bone health, and nervous system function. Most vitamins cannot be synthesised by the body in sufficient quantities and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Vitamin deficiencies can develop gradually and may not produce noticeable symptoms until levels have been low for an extended period. Blood testing measures the circulating levels of specific vitamins, providing a quantified result that can be compared against established reference ranges to assess nutritional status.
