VITAMINS

VITAMIN
• Organic nutrients needed in small quantities to
perform specific functions;
• Do not provide energy but are necessary in the use
of energy.
• Helping regulate body functions, keeping the body
healthy, promoting resistance.
• The deficiency of a vitamin can lead to disease or
death.
• Classified as fat soluble and water soluble

CLASSIFICATION

FAT

WATER

SOLUBLE

SOLUBLE

• Stored in the fat and
released as they are
needed by the body.
• Can be stored for extended
periods.
• Absorbed through
lymphatic tissues
• Need precursor, provitamin
• C, H, O
• Only for complex organism

A–D–E-K


• Dissolved by water.
• As water passes through the
body.
• need to be consumed every
day by monogastric animals.
• Absorbed through portal
vein
• Most doesn’t need precursor
• C, H, O, N some have S and
Co
• For complex and simple
organism

C – B (IB – IIB)

VITAMIN A
• Benefit: Maintenance of normal
vision and night vision, Essential for
immune system, Necessary for

growth; induces differentiation of
cells
• Deficiency: Fairly common; results
in night blindness and eye disease,
dry pimply skin, increased infections,
and kidney stones

VITAMIN D
Benefit:
• Helps to maintain constant levels of calcium
in the blood
• Important in insulin and prolactin secretion,
muscle function, immune and stress
response, melanin synthesis, and cellular
differentiation 
• Vital for kidney and parathyroid gland
function
• Necessary for healthy bones

Deficiency:

• Disease is rickets, symptoms include soft
bones and teeth
Toxicity:
• Toxic in doses larger than 1,000-1,1500 I.U.s
daily for a month or longer; produces
nausea, weakness, and irritability 
• May lead to brain or liver damage, jaundice,
and the destruction of red blood cells

VITAMIN E
Benefit:
• Protects vitamin A from oxidation during digestion
• Enhances immune response
• Inhibits carcinogens from reaching target sites 
• Can stop neurological problems associated with
cystic fibrosis, liver disease early in disease process
• Detoxifies free radicals, prevents damage to cell
membranes
• Prevents LDL cholesterol from turning into
damaging oxidized LDL, which initiates buildup of

arterial plaque which can lead to heart disease 

VITAMIN K
Benefit:
• Helps blood coagulate 
• In conjunction with vitamins A and D
helps body build bone protein 
• Given as injection to newborns to
help blood clot, sometimes to women
before labor or to patients before and
after surgery

VITAMIN C (ascorbic
acid)
Benefit:
• Activates liver-detoxifying systems 
• Antioxidant to inactivate highly reactive oxygen species;
protects against damage to lipids and other molecules
• Inhibits formation of carcinogenic compounds
• Protects cellular functions

• Enhances function of key white blood cells involved in
the destruction of bacteria
• Protects vitamin E
• Integral to maintenance and building of collagen
• Vital to bones and teeth, blood vessels, healing of wounds,
and iron absorption
• Helps metabolize several amino acids and hormones 

Biotin
Benefit:
• Key role in metabolizing fats, carbohydrates, and
proteins
• Part of a number of enzymes in which it functions as a
carboxyl carrier
• Manufactured in lower digestive tract by bacteria

Colin
Benefit:
• Helps maintain central nervous system 
• Precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter

• Involved in production and metabolism of fats and
cholesterol

Vitamin B (Folic acid, folate)
• Used by body to break down and
synthesize amino acids
• Helps synthesize nucleic acids, which
are needed to build new cells, particularly
red blood cells 
• Involved in a variety of reactions in amino
acid and nucleotide metabolism 
• Recommended for women of childbearing
age; helps prevent neural tube birth
defects  

Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
• Enables body to use carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins (to provide energy), and amino acids 
• Influences metabolism of DNA, NAD, NADP 
• Aids nervous system and digestive tract

function and promotes healthy skin

Pantothenic Acid
• Necessary for adrenal cortex function 
• Part of chemistry of coenzyme A, which is
vital to metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins and involved in making fatty acids,
cholesterol, acetylcholine, steroid hormones,
and nerve regulators
