Vitamins

Vitamins are organic compounds essential for the cell function and growth of living organisms. Most vitamins cannot be synthesized by the body and for this reason it is important to obtain them from food and/or supplements. The role of vitamins is continuously being investigated in nutrition/food science research, metabolism research, microbiome research, agricultural science and disease research to better understand how vitamins affect cell growth, cell regeneration, diseases, and overall health. Moreover, vitamins are widely used as supplements in cell culture media as they are key substrates for the growth and development of cells.

The 13 essential fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins are: Vitamins A, C, D, E, K, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (Pantothenic acid), B7 (Biotin), B6, B12 and Folate (Folic acid and B9). Our compounds can be used as media supplements for the cultivation of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms to improve the viability of propagating cells and for selective isolation and cultivation of microorganisms.
