ABSTRACT
Vitamins and minerals are considered as micronutrients for body but they play vital role in different body functions. These minerals and vitamins interact with each other’s either synergistically to increase each other’s activity or antagonistically to decrease their effectiveness in body. Major vitamin antagonisms include antagonism between vitamin A and D, vitamin C and vitamin K, vitamin K and some antibiotics, vitamin C and vitamin B12, Fe, Co etc. Some of the important synergism between micronutrients includes thiamine, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin D, B12, E. So during diet formulation these factors should be taken care to avoid any disorder.
Key words: Antagonism, mineral, synergism, vitamin
