Vitamin A:Dietary sources of vitamin A:
Retinoids are only found in foods of animal origin: liver, eggs, milk
Carotenoids (can be converted to retinoids) found in yellow / orange vegetables, some leafy green vegetables
Both are often used to fortify cereals
![Page 15: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Vitamin A:Dietary Recommendations:
“Vitamin A” is actually a group of related molecules which can be converted into other forms, and the recommended intakes are different for each.
Thus, Dietary Reference Intakes are expressed according to how active they are relative to the most common one, retinol.
For adults, the Recommended Dietary Allowance of vitamin A is between 700 and 900 ug of retinol or its equivalent per day.
![Page 16: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Vitamin A:Dietary Recommendations:
Because vitamin A compounds are stored in the liver, excess dietary intake is not easily removed from the body and excess amounts can be toxic.
Its Tolerable Upper Intake Level is about 3,000 ug of retinol or its equivalent per day.
![Page 17: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Vitamin D:Next: Vitamin D
“Vitamin D” is also a group of related compounds.
![Page 20: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Next: Vitamin D
“Vitamin D” is also a group of related compounds.
The two most common and important are ergocalciferol(also known as D2) and cholecalciferol (D3).These are converted in the liver and kidneys to the active form of the vitamin 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D],also known as calcitriol.
Vitamin D:
![Page 21: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Dietary Recommendations:In the absence of sunlight exposure, the Adequate Intake of vitamin D is 5 to 10 ug/day.However, most people are exposed to enough sunlight for their skin to produce at least some of this: Light-skinned individuals: 8 to 30 minutes per week Dark-skinned individuals: 20 to 90 minutes per week
Vitamin D:
![Page 26: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dietary Recommendations:Like vitamin A, vitamin D is stored in the liver, so excess dietary intake is not easily removed from the body and excess amounts can be toxic.
Tolerable Upper Intake Level for most people: 50 ug/day
Vitamin D:

All are active and have similar effects. but alpha-tocopherol is the most common
![Page 31: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Vitamin E:Function of vitamin E:
All forms of the vitamin are antioxidants:
They react with, and thus neutralize, highly reactive products of metabolism called oxygen free radicals in cell membranes of the heart, lungs, nerves, eyes, and other tissues.
They also appear to protect against DNA mutations and to help regulate cellular growth and differentiation.
![Page 32: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Vitamin K:The last of the fat-soluble vitamins: Vitamin K
Just like vitamins A, D, and E, “Vitamin K” is a group of related compounds rather than a single molecule.These are the phylloquinones and menaquinones.
![Page 37: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Vitamin K:Dietary sources of vitamin K:
Leafy vegetablesBlueberries and blackberriesLegumes (beans, peas, etc.)
Bacteria in the large intestinesynthesize and release Vitamin K, which can then be absorbed
![Page 39: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Vitamin K:Dietary Recommendations:
Adequate intake = 90 ug/day for women = 120 ug/day for men
Because the liver easily breaks down vitamin K, no Tolerable Upper Intake Level has been established
![Page 40: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 43: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Let’s start discussing the water-soluble vitamins with Vitamin C
Also called “ascorbate” or “ascorbic acid”
Vitamin C:
![Page 44: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Function of vitamin C:
Vitamin C:
It is an antioxidant which reacts with, and thus neutralizes, highly reactive products of metabolism called oxygen free radicals in the cells of many tissues and organs.
Cells also need vitamin C to produce the protein collagen which holds them together and forms many of the body’s connective tissues.
It helps synthesize a number of different hormones and neurotransmitters and helps regulate the immune system.

When the B vitamins were first discovered, they were thought to be just a single compound which acted as a “coenzyme” – a molecule which binds to enzymes and is necessary for them to function.
B Vitamins:
![Page 50: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
When the B vitamins were first discovered, they were thought to be just a single compound which acted as a “coenzyme” – a molecule which binds to enzymes and is necessary for them to function.
Fairly soon, however, eight different molecules were identified with specific functions. These were identified by adding numbers to the “B” designation.
B Vitamins:
![Page 51: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

B12 = Cobalamin
B Vitamins:
However, some of them are now commonly known only by thier names and others are commonly known only by their numbers.
This is how you should know them.
In some foods and supplements, all of these B vitamins are present together, referred to as the vitamin B complex
![Page 54: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Function of thiamin:Like all of the B vitamins, it is a coenzyme which binds to enzymes to make them active.
For thiamin, these are enzymes involved in - the breakdown sugars to release energy - synthesis of DNA and RNA - production of neurotransmitters
First: Thiamin (vitamin B1 )
![Page 55: Vitamins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816939550346895de0a37b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
