Sažetak
The role of vitamins in nutrition of Croatian population is still underestimated and insufficiently investigated though they have important protective effects in human nutrition. The aim of this research was to examine vitamin A, riboflavine, vitamin B6, niacine and ascorbic acid intake in 120 adults, aged 18-54 years (mean 33.8 yr). The research was conducted using 24-hour recall method, and was repeated 10 times during one year. Participants were separated according the age into two groups (≤ 30 yr, and  30 yr), as well as according the sex. There were no significant differences in vitamins intake between age groups. When divided by sex, significant difference in vitamins intake was found. When nutritive density was considered, significant difference was found for more vitamins regarding age, and less regarding sex. In conclusion, considering recommendations our examined population took adequate amounts of vitamins.
