For example, many vitamins participate as cofactors in enzyme reactions within the cells. They must be obtained through diet, microorganisms in the gut or sunlight since humans cannot synthesize them.&#160;Vitamin&#160;tests&#160;measure&#160;the&#160;levels&#160;of&#160;certain&#160;vitamins in an individual&#39;s&#160;blood which can be correlated to the&#160;levels&#160;of&#160;vitamin&#160;in their [...]]]></description>
