Biological Role:
water-soluble vitamin (role)  Any vitamin that dissolves in water and readily absorbed into tissues for immediate use.

Application:
nutraceutical  A product in capsule, tablet or liquid form that provide essential nutrients, such as a vitamin, an essential mineral, a protein, an herb, or similar nutritional substance.
