which vitamin is most important for your health?why?

vitamins - Vitamins are biomolecules that act both as catalysts and substrates in chemical reactions. When acting as a catalyst, vitamins are bound to enzymes and are called cofactors, forexample vitamin K forms part of the proteases involved in blood clotting. Vitamins also act as coenzymes to carry chemical groups between enzymes, for example folic acid carries various forms of carbon groups (methyl, formyl or methylene) in the cell.--wikipedia

Vitamins are nutrients required in very small amounts for essential metabolic reactions in the body[1]. The term vitamin does not include other essential nutrients such as dietary minerals, essential fatty acids, or essential amino acids. No does the term refer to the large number of other nutrients that promote health, but are not strictly essential.--wikipedia *for me it is vitamin E

I would say all vitamins r equally important. Vitamin A for vision and maintain normal skin texture Vitamin K for blood coagulation Vitamin D for metabolism of calcium and potassium Vitamin B complex for normal functioning like preserving nerve functions, in metabolisms, and immune functions. Folic acid and Vitamin b 12 r most important because they take part in synthesis of blood cells, and during pregnancy in development of nerve cells in foetus. Vitamin C in wound healing and collagen synthesis. So take properly balanced food which contains all the vitamins.
