Classification of vitamins based on function Converting mg/dl to mEq/L Vitamins – B1, B2, B3, B5, B7 - Active forms (functional forms) - Factors affecting vitamin availability from food - Functions, metabolism of vitamins - Nutritional assessment of vitamins - Deficiency & toxicity - Able to recognize the vitamin structure

1. Function (enzymes, physiological, structural, etc.). 2. Mechanism of absorption (from the mouth, gi tract, to sites of storage and metabolic activity). 3. Factors that affect bioavailability and nutrient absorption (other dietary factors, medications). 4. Various chemical forms (metabolic action, bioavailability, food sources vs. supplement sources). 5. Food sources (rich sources, as well as the most common sources). 6. Recommended intakes throughout the lifecycle. 7. Time of lif

General characteristic of vitamins A, B12, C, E, &D Functions & metabolism of vitamins (A, C, E, B12) - know specific forms of vitamin A, D & E associated with each of these functions - Proteins associated with transport of vitamin A & E RDA (C, A) - Know how to convert IU units to mg for vitamin E Deficiency & toxicity associated with Vitamins A, C, and B12 Excretion of Vitamin A, D, E, & C

B12 -digestion and absorption -functions -causes of deficiency, deficiency disease/symptoms Vitamin C - Functions - Sources - Deficiency disease/symptoms - RDA & UL General characters of fat soluble vitamins Vitamin A: Sources Digestion, absorption, storage - transport - Hypervitaminosis - Function Specific retinoid associated with each function - Deficiency symptoms/disease - UL - toxicity - RAE - calculation - Carotenoids Vitamin K -Sources - Function - Vitamin K c
