Solution

The essential 13 vitamins are Vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folate). All these vitamins we can obtain from food. And by exposing ourselves to Sunlight we can get vitamin D which can't be synthesized by the body. Multivitamin supplement can provide us essential vitamins.

More to know:

The sun’s energy turns a chemical in our skin into vitamin D3, which is carried to our liver and then our kidneys to transform it to active vitamin D.
