The Vitamins: Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health

Explores the fundamental nature, discovery, and physiological roles of vitamins in human and animal health. It traces the history of nutritional science, detailing how observations of diseases like scurvy and pellagra led to the identification of these essential organic compounds. The authors categorize specific vitamins—including A, D, E, K, and the B-complex—while outlining their metabolic functions, dietary sources, and the biochemical consequences of deficiency or toxicity. Beyond basic biology, the text examines dietary standards, bioavailability, and the impact of genetics on nutrient utilization. It also addresses global health challenges such as "hidden hunger" and the efficacy of supplementation in preventing chronic diseases. Finally, technical data on biomarkers and food composition are provided to assist in professional nutritional assessment.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Vitamins-Fundamental-Aspects-Nutrition-Health/dp/012802965X?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=174c4d2f93d6928790bc3fd72d041069&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/pharmacy_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
