The Vitamin Parade!

Water soluble and Fat soluble vitamins,

all here are in the queue

to meet you and introduce themselves!


Warning.......

Some vitamins are very “giddy” and will pretend they are someone else..

You must decide in each case whether the introduction is genuine

or if they are fooling you.....

And respond appropriately!

Each vitamin will individually give a brief introduction of themselves, in no time at all you’ll know them all!


Click “Pleased to meet you” if the introduction is genuine

Click “Don’t fool me!” if the description fits another vitamin

Your Job!

Meet them , greet them and on to the next vitamin as below!
