• Early 20th century:from Latin vita ‘life’ + English amine,because
vitamins were originally thought to contain an amino acid.
• Vitamins are the nutrients our bodies need in order to maintain
functions such as immunity and metabolism.
• Any of a group of organic compounds which are essential for
normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities
in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body

• Vitamins A, D, E, K
• Not lost easily in cooking
• Lost when mineral oil is ingested
• Excess amounts are stored in the
liver.
• Deficiencies are slow to appear.
• easily absorbed through the
intestinal tract.
7. Vitamin A
• Any of several fat-soluble vitamins (as retinol) found
especially in animal products (as egg yolk, milk, or fish-liver
oils) or a mixture of them whose lack in the animal body
causes epithelial tissues to become keratinous (as in the
eye with resulting visual defects)
• A group of unsaturated nutritional organic compounds:
Retinol
Retinal
Retinoic acid
8. Sources of Vitamin A
• Animal sources:
• Milk
• Meat

• It is mainly necessary for body tissue repair,to maintain the skin
and mucous membranes in good health.
• Build and take care of bones,hair,nails,teeth.
• Body stores fat soluble vitamins in the liver and appears in the
retina of the eye in some components called retinoids.Eyes
need it for a correct vision.
• Act as antioxidant.
10. Functions of Vitamin A
• Body function:
Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy skin, teeth, skeletal
and soft tissue, mucus membranes, and skin.
• Vision:
Vitamin A promotes good vision, especially in low light .
• Immune system:
○ Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy immune function
and deficiency can lead to an impaired response to infection.
○ Food sources of carotenoids such as beta-carotene may
reduce the risk for cancer
○ It may also be needed for reproduction and breast-feeding.
12. VITAMIN D
• Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in
very few foods, added to others, and available as a dietary
supplement. It is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet
rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D
synthesis.
13. Characteristics of Vitamin
D
• Vitamin D is preventing and treating rickets, a disease that is
caused by not having enough vitamin D
• Vitamin D is also used for treating weak bones (osteoporosis),
bone pain (osteomalacia), bone loss in people with a condition
called hyperparathyroidism, and an inherited disease
(osteogenesis imperfecta) in which the bones are especially
brittle and easily broken.
• Preventing low calcium and bone loss (renal osteodystrophy)
in people with kidney failure.
14. Functions of Vitamin D
• Immune system, which helps you to fight infection
• Muscle function
• Cardiovascular function, for a healthy heart and circulation
• Respiratory system –for healthy lungs and airways
• Brain development
• Anti-cancer effects
15. Mechanism of action of
vitamin D
Vitamin D is carried in the bloodstream to the liver, where it is
converted into the prohormone calcidiol. Circulating calcidiol may
then be converted into calcitriol, the biologically active form of
vitamin D, in the kidneys. Following the final converting step in
the kidney, calcitriol is released into the circulation. By binding to
vitamin D-binding protein, a carrier protein in the plasma,
calcitriol is transported to various target organs.In addition to the
kidneys, calcitriol is also synthesized by monocyte-macrophages
in the immune system. When synthesized by monocyte
macrophages, calcitriol acts locally as a cytokine, defending the
body against microbial invaders by stimulating the innate immune
system.
16. Mechanism of action of
vitamin D
• Whether it is made in the skin or ingested, cholecalciferol
is hydroxylated in the liver at position 25 (upper right of the molecule) to
form 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (calcidiol or 25(OH)D). This reaction is
catalyzed by themicrosomal enzyme vitamin D 25-hydroxylase,which is
produced by hepatocytes. Once made, the product is released into the
plasma, where it is bound to an α-globulin, vitamin D-binding protein.
• Calcidiol is transported to the proximal tubules of the kidneys, where it
is hydroxylated at the 1-α position (lower right of the molecule) to form
calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and abbreviated to 1,25(OH)2D).
This product is a potent ligand of the vitamin D receptor, which
mediates most of the physiological actions of the vitamin. The
conversion of calcidiol to calcitriol is catalyzed by the enzyme 25-
hydroxyvitamin D3 1-alpha-hydroxylase, the levels of which are
increased by parathyroid hormone(and additionally by low calcium or
phosphate)
17. VITAMIN E
• Vitamin E refers to a group of compounds that include
both tocopherols and tocotrienols.
The group that most stands out is that of the tocopherols that has
four members:alpha tocopherol,beta tocopherol,gamma
tochopherol and delta tochopherol.
• Sources of vitamin E :
Vegetable oils: corn, soybean, safflower, and cottonseed, and
products made from them, such as margarine
Wheat germ, nuts, and green leafy vegetables
18. Characteristics of Vitamin
E
• Vitamin E is considered the heart vitamin,since it is
necessary to have vitamin E needs covered for a healthy
heart
• As a fat-soluble antioxidant, it stops the production
of reactive oxygen species formed when fat undergoes
oxidation.
19. Functions of Vitamin E
• Antioxidant
• Prevention of hemolytic anemia among premature infants
• Enhances immune system
• Retards spoilage of commercial foods
• Vitamin E also has an effect on gene expression
20. Mechanism of action of
Vitamin E
Free radicals, such as superoxide, hydroxyl ions and nitric oxide
all contain an unpaired electron. These radicals can have a
negative effect on cells causing oxidative damage that leads to
cell death. Antioxidants, such as vitamin E, prevent cell damage
by binding to the free radical and neutralising its unpaired
electron. For example, when vitamin E binds to OO· or O2
· they
form an intermediate structure that is converted to a
tocopherylquinone.
21. Vitamin K
• Made up of several compounds essential to blood clotting
• Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone)
• Vitamin K2 (menaquinone)
• Synthetic vitamin K (menadione)
• Vitamin K is destroyed by light and alkalis.
22. Sources of Vitamin K
• Green leafy vegetables such as
broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and kale
• Dairy products, cow’s milk, eggs,
meats, fruits, and cereals
• Bacteria in small intestine synthesizes
some vitamin K, but must be
supplemented by dietary sources.
• Measured in micrograms
23. Functions of Vitamin K
• Formation of prothrombin for clotting of blood
• Candidates likely to receive vitamin K
▫ Newborns immediately after birth
▫ Clients who suffer from faulty fat absorption
▫ After extensive antibiotic therapy
▫ Antidote for an overdose of anticoagulant or treatment of
hemorrhage
24. Water-Soluble Vitamins
• Vitamin B complex and C
• Dissolve in water
• Easily destroyed by air, light,
and cooking
• Cannot be stored and is
readily extracted from the
body
25. Vitamin C: Ascorbic Acid
• Has antioxidant properties and protects food from oxidation
• Role in formation of collagen and absorption of nonheme iron
• Prevents scurvy
• May be involved with formation or functioning of
norepinephrine, some amino acids, folate, leukocytes, the
immune system, and allergic reactions
26. Functions of Vitamin C
• Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, the
intercellular ‘cement’ substance which gives structure to
muscles, vascular tissues, bones, tendons and ligaments
• vitamin C contributes to the health of teeth and gums,
preventing haemorrhaging and bleeding.
• vitamin C is also needed for the metabolism of bile acids which
may have implications for bloodcholesterol levels and
gallstones.
• vitamin C plays an important role in the synthesis of several
important peptide hormones, neurotransmitters and carnitine.
• Anti-allergic
• Antioxidant
27. Mechanism of action of
Vitamin C
• In humans, an exogenous source of ascorbic acid is required
for collagen formation and tissue repair by acting as a cofactor
in the posttranslational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in -Xaa-
Pro-Gly- sequences in collagens and other proteins. Ascorbic
acid is reversibly oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid in the body.
These two forms of the vitamin are believed to be important in
oxidation-reduction reactions. The vitamin is involved in
tyrosine metabolism, conversion of folic acid to folinic acid,
carbohydrate metabolism, synthesis of lipids and proteins, iron
metabolism, resistance to infections, and cellular respiration.
