Question:
What the heck is the difference between a vitamin and a pro-vitamin??
I happened to be looking at my shave cream, which said it was fortified with Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5.
What is the difference between a vitamin and a pro-vitamin?? Is a B-complex vitamin professional or something?? WTF??
Answers:
Pro-vitamins are nutrients that assist the vitamins in their tasks. Some vitamins require others to do their jobs to the fullest, like Calcium is absorbed and utilized better in the prescence of vitamin D.
