Vitamins - Overview
Vitamins are organic compounds that are required in small amounts for normal growth and maintenance of life. They are classified as either fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) or water-soluble (B complex, C). Deficiencies can occur due to inadequate intake or malabsorption and cause diseases like beriberi, rickets, and scurvy. The document provides details on sources, daily requirements, and deficiency symptoms of each vitamin. It emphasizes the importance of vitamins for health and outlines how requirements vary based on age, gender, and physiological state.
A Short Note on Vitamins
A vitamin is an organic compound required by an organism as a vital nutrient in limited amounts. An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when it cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by an organism, and must be obtained from the diet. Thus, the term is conditional both on the circumstances and on the particular organism.

Vitamins
Vitamins are chemical compounds that regulate human body functions and metabolism. They are necessary for converting food into energy and tissues. There are several types of vitamins including A, B1, B2, B12, C, D, E, and K. Each vitamin plays an important role and deficiency can cause specific health issues. For example, vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness, while vitamin C deficiency results in scurvy. The document provides information on each vitamin's function, deficiency symptoms, and major food sources.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, can be produced in the skin upon exposure to UVB light or obtained in the diet. It plays an important role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. Dietary requirements are minimal as the body can produce vitamin D3 in the skin, but certain groups like the elderly are at higher risk of deficiency. Deficiency can lead to rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, characterized by soft, weak bones and bone pain.

Vitamin d presentation
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is obtained through sunlight exposure and dietary sources like fatty fish and fortified foods. It plays an important role in bone and immune health by aiding in calcium absorption and bone mineralization. Testing for vitamin D levels has increased in recent years due to research linking vitamin D deficiency to diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and depression. While vitamin D shows promise for many health benefits, more research is still needed to fully understand its therapeutic potential.
Vitamin d
1) Vitamin D is produced in the skin from sunlight exposure and is also obtained in small amounts from dietary sources like fatty fish.
2) In the liver and kidneys, vitamin D is activated to its biological form which acts to regulate calcium and phosphate levels in the body by increasing their absorption in the intestines and mobilization from bones.
3) Vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, characterized by soft, weak bones due to poor mineralization.

Vitamin d power point
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps the body absorb calcium to strengthen bones. It can be obtained through sunlight exposure or foods like egg yolks, fatty fish, and fortified milk and juices. The document outlines vitamin D's role in bone health, recommended daily intake amounts which vary from 15 to 20 micrograms depending on age, and natural food sources of this essential vitamin.
Rickets
Rickets is a childhood bone disease caused by severe and prolonged vitamin D deficiency. This leads to softening and weakening of bones as the body is unable to absorb sufficient calcium and phosphorus from food. Symptoms include bowed legs, muscle weakness, and bone pain or fractures. Rickets is treated by giving vitamin D and calcium supplements to restore healthy bone mineralization. Prevention focuses on adequate vitamin D through sunlight exposure, diet, or supplements, especially for those at higher risk like infants.
Lesson 4
This document discusses vitamins A, D, K1, and K2. It notes that a vegan diet is nearly devoid of fat-soluble vitamins A and D, which are mainly found in animal foods. It also explains that vitamin K2 works synergistically with vitamins A and D and is important for bone and cardiovascular health, but is mostly found in animal products like cheese and eggs. The document concludes that fat-soluble vitamins are critical to human health and that vitamin D and K2 levels tend to be lower in vegans compared to omnivores.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin known as the "sunshine vitamin" because the skin produces it when exposed to sunlight. It plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones by aiding in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D also supports the immune system, cell growth, and brain health. Dietary sources include fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods, and supplements are available when sun exposure is limited. Both deficiency and excess can have health implications, so it's important to maintain an appropriate balance.

Vitamin D plays an important role in bone health and the absorption of calcium. It is found naturally in fatty fish, beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks, and is added to foods like milk and cereals. The recommended daily intake is 400-800 IU depending on age. A deficiency can lead to soft bones and rickets in children, while adequate levels support muscle function and performance in athletes.
Rickets
Rickets is a childhood bone disease caused by vitamin D deficiency and lack of calcium. It was common in the past but decreased due to milk fortification with vitamin D in the 1930s. Today it is seen again in less developed areas and in those with dark skin exposed to little sunlight. Symptoms include bone pain, softening and deformities. Diagnosis involves exams and tests of vitamin D and bone mineral levels. Treatment focuses on calcium and vitamin D supplementation. With early treatment, children generally heal well while severe cases can lead to permanent bone changes.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is produced endogenously when skin is exposed to sunlight and is present in a few foods like fatty fish, fish liver oils, egg yolks, and cheese. It helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus and is important for building strong bones. Laboratory studies also show that vitamin D may reduce cancer growth and help control infections. The recommended daily intake of vitamin D varies from 400 IU for infants to 800 IU for adults over 70 years old. Deficiency can lead to bone and muscle pain, infections, hair loss, and fatigue.
