Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients required by the body to carry out a range of normal functions. However, these micronutrients are not produced in our bodies and must be derived from the food we eat.

Vitamins are organic substances that are generally classified as either fat soluble or water soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins ( vitamin A , vitamin D , vitamin E , and vitamin K ) dissolve in fat and tend to accumulate in the body. Water-soluble vitamins ( vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins , such as vitamin B6 , vitamin B12 , and folate ) must dissolve in water before they can be absorbed by the body, and therefore cannot be stored. Any water-soluble vitamins unused by the body is primarily lost through urine.

Minerals are inorganic elements present in soil and water, which are absorbed by plants or consumed by animals. While you’re likely familiar with calcium , sodium , and potassium , there is a range of other minerals, including trace minerals (e.g. copper , iodine , and zinc ) needed in very small amounts.

In the U.S., the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) develops nutrient reference values called the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for vitamins and minerals. [1] These are intended as a guide for good nutrition and as a scientific basis for the development of food guidelines in both the U.S. and Canada. The DRIs are specific to age, gender, and life stages, and cover more than 40 nutrient substances. The guidelines are based on available reports of deficiency and toxicity of each nutrient. Learn more about vitamins and minerals and their recommended intakes in the table below.

What about multivitamins?

A diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables , whole grains , good protein packages , and healthful fats should provide most of the nutrients needed for good health. But not everyone manages to eat a healthful diet. Multivitamins can play an important role when nutritional requirements are not met through diet alone. Learn more about vitamin supplementation .

Vitamins and their precise requirements have been controversial since their discovery in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was the combined efforts of epidemiologists, physicians, chemists, and physiologists that led to our modern day understanding of vitamins and minerals. After years of observation, experiments, and trial and error, they were able to distinguish that some diseases were not caused by infections or toxins—a common belief at the time—but by vitamin deficiencies. [2] Chemists worked to identify a vitamin’s chemical structure so it could be replicated. Soon after, researchers determined specific amounts of vitamins needed to avoid diseases of deficiency.

In 1912, biochemist Casimir Funk was the first to coin the term “vitamin” in a research publication that was accepted by the medical community, derived from “vita” meaning life, and “amine” referring to a nitrogenous substance essential for life. [3] Funk is considered the father of vitamin therapy, as he identified nutritional components that were missing in diseases of deficiency like scurvy (too little vitamin C ), beri-beri (too little vitamin B1 ), pellagra (too little vitamin B3 ), and rickets (too little vitamin D ). The discovery of all vitamins occurred by 1948.

Vitamins were obtained only from food until the 1930s when commercially made supplements of certain vitamins became available. The U.S government also began fortifying foods with specific nutrients to prevent deficiencies common at the time, such as adding iodine to salt to prevent goiter, and adding folic acid to grain products to reduce birth defects during pregnancy. In the 1950s, most vitamins and multivitamins were available for sale to the general public to prevent deficiencies, some receiving a good amount of marketing in popular magazines such as promoting cod liver oil containing vitamin D as bottled sunshine.

Chapter 8: Vitamins and Minerals

Define the Following Terms:

• 1. antioxidants—substances that protect body cells and the immune system from damage by harmful chemicals in air and foods.
• 2. electrolyte minerals—sodium, chloride, and potassium, which control and balance fluid flow in and out of cells.
• 3. fat-soluble vitamins—vitamins absorbed and transported by fat.
• 4. free-radicals—harmful by-product excreted when cells burn oxygen to produce energy.
• 5. hypertension—high-blood pressure linked to high salt intake.
• 6. iron-deficiency anemia—lack of enough iron in the body, resulting in fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
• 7. major minerals—macrominerals with special duties in the body; calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, chloride, and potassium.
• 8. osteomalacia—a disease caused by a lack of vitamin D in adults.
• 9. osteoporosis—condition caused by calcium deficiency; bones become porous, weak, fragile.
• 10. pica—Condition linked to iron deficiency; causes unusual appetite for ice, clay, and other nonfood items.
• 11. toxicity—excessive amount of substance that reacts as poison in the body.
• 12. trace minerals—minerals needed in only small amounts but serving vital body functions.
• 13. water-soluble vitamins—vitamins dissolve in water and pass easily into the bloodstream during digestion.

Answer the following questions:�

• 1. Why are vitamins and minerals called micronutrients?
• They are needed in smaller amounts than other nutrients.

2. Why are some vitamins considered to be antioxidants?

• They protect body cells and the immune system by either transforming harmful free radicals into less damaging compounds or repairing damaged cells.

3. Compare water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins.

• Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and are carried in the bloodstream; they are not stored, and excess amounts are eliminated with waste products. Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed and transported by fat; excess amounts are stored by the body for later use.

4. What does vitamin C do for you?

• Helps maintain healthy capillaries, bones, skin, and teeth. Helps your body heal wounds and resist infections. Aids in the absorption of iron and works as an antioxidant. Plays a role in caring for collagen that gives structure to bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels.

5. One family stored milk in small, clear containers. What do you think of this practice?

• Not good because light through the containers will destroy riboflavin in the milk.

6. What function in the body do riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin B5, and biotin have in common?

• They are all involved in using carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

7. Why is folate a very important vitamin?

• It helps the body use proteins, builds red blood cells, and forms genetic material. It prevents birth defects that damage the brain and spinal cord.

8. What can occur with vitamin A deficiency?

• Rough, scaly skin and infections in the respiratory tract and other areas of the body; causes night blindness and total blindness in many children in developing countries.

9. What is toxicity?�

• An excessive amount of a substance that is poisonous in the body.

� 10. What are two ways to get vitamin D?

• Through exposure to sunlight and in fortified milk.

11. Why do cooks need to pay particular attention to the ways that foods are prepared?

• Some cooking techniques can destroy certain vitamins.

12. Compare major and trace minerals.

• The amount of trace minerals the body needs is much smaller than the amount of major minerals needed.

13. Why do teens need to think about osteoporosis?

• Bone mass builds u p during childhood, the teen years, and young adulthood, so care taken to consume calcium during early life can prevent the disease from developing later.

14. Why are sodium, chloride, and potassium called electrolyte minerals?

• They form chemical particles called electrolytes, which attract fluids. Cells move electrolytes through cell walls as needed to balance fluids and keep cells from collapsing or bursting.

15. What can help reduce hypertension?

• Lowering intake of table salt.

16. What are some signs of iron-deficiency anemia?

• Being tired, weak, short of breath, pale, and cold.

17. One teen chewed on ice to the point that her friends noticed and commented on the frequency. What might be wrong?

• She might have pica, an unusual appetite for ice, clay, or other nonfood items, indicating an iron deficiency.

18. Why is fluoride needed in the diet?

• To prevent tooth decay and strengthen bones.

19. What do you think about the trend to fortify many food products with vitamins and minerals?

• Might help some people, but also has the potential to cause toxic excesses

10.1 – Introduction to Vitamins

Learning objectives.

• Define the term vitamin.
• Compare and contrast fat-and water-soluble vitamins and identify vitamins that fit in each category.

To combat this issue the Island Food Community of Pohnpei has been instrumental in promoting the citizens of Pohnpei to increase local karat banana consumption. The karat banana is rich in beta-carotene (a source of vitamin A) and increasing consumption among the locals will decrease the prevalence of vitamin A deficiencies in Pohnpei. For further information on this issue visit the Island Food Community of Pohnpei’s website and watch this video .

Vitamins are organic compounds that are traditionally assigned to two groups fat-soluble(hydrophobic) or water-soluble (hydrophilic). This classification determines where they act in the body. Water-soluble vitamins act in the cytosol of cells or in extracellular fluids such as blood; fat-soluble vitamins are largely responsible for protecting cell membranes from free radical damage. The body can synthesize some vitamins, but others must be obtained from the diet.

One major difference between fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins is the way they are absorbed in the body. Vitamins are absorbed primarily in the small intestine and their bioavailability is dependent on the quality of the diet. Including a small amount of fat or oils in your meal enhances fat-soluble vitamin absorption.  Once fat-soluble vitamins have been absorbed in the small intestine, they are packaged and incorporated into chylomicrons along with other fatty acids and transported in the lymphatic system to the liver. Water-soluble vitamins, on the other hand, are absorbed in the small intestine but are transported to the liver through blood vessels. (Figure 10.1.3 ).

Vitamins are obtained from the different types of foods that we consume. If a diet is lacking a certain type of nutrient, a vitamin deficiency may occur. The traditional diet in Pohnpei (an island in the Federal States of Micronesia) consisted of a diet rich in local tropical produce such as bananas, papaya, mango, pineapple, coconut as well as seafood. However, due to a shift in dietary patterns from fresh foods to processed and refined foods the island is suffering from a magnitude of health concerns. A study conducted by the Department of Health of the Federated States of Micronesia on children aged two to four years old in Pohnpei showed that the prevalence for vitamin A deficiency among children aged 2-5 was 53 percent [1] .

To combat this issue the Island Food Community of Pohnpei has been instrumental in promoting the citizens of Pohnpei to increase local karat banana consumption. The karat banana is rich in beta-carotene (a source of vitamin A) and increasing consumption among the locals will decrease the prevalence of vitamin A deficiencies in Pohnpei.

One major difference between fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins is the way they are absorbed in the body. Vitamins are absorbed primarily in the small intestine and their bioavailability is dependent on the food composition of the diet. Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed along with dietary fat. Therefore, if a meal is very low in fat, the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins will be impaired. Once fat-soluble vitamins have been absorbed in the small intestine, they are packaged and incorporated into chylomicrons along with other fatty acids and transported in the lymphatic system to the liver. Water-soluble vitamins on the other hand are absorbed in the small intestine but are transported to the liver through blood vessels.

Presentation Transcript

Vitamins and Minerals PowerPoint originally prepared by Shanta Adeeb

The Nature of Vitamins • Vitamins are organic (carbon) compounds needed for normal function, growth and maintenance. • Vitamins are cofactors, they don’t do anything by themselves. • They are not a source of calories.

The Nature of Vitamins • Organic cofactors – what is a cofactor? • Water analogy, scissor analogy • Physiological role – specific metabolic function • Prevents disease – unlike “supplements” which may promote “some thing” or have general metabolic effect (ex. Omega 3s, fibers) • Natural = Synthetic (except Vitamin E)

The Nature of Vitamins • Nutritional Value lost by: • Light • Heat • Oxidation • Bacteria • Enzymes • Insects • (Nutritional value of baby foodmust be assured.) Effect of packaging on nutrient loss in milk.

The Nature of Vitamins • Food processing can preserve nutrients.

Vitamin Requirements • Daily Values (DV): standard nutrient intake values developed by FDA • Includes DRIs (Daily Recommended Intakes for Individuals) and (DRVs) Daily Recommended Values (Proteins, etc.) • Disease prevention • Best met through a consumption of a wide variety of foods

Vitamin Requirements • Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI): recommendation for individuals (more accurate, but would be impossible to label) • Age • Gender • Pregnancy • Lactation

Vitamin Requirements • Daily Reference Values (DRV): standards established for protein and other dietary components lacking a RDA or nutrient standard • Constitute part of the Daily Values (DV) used on food labels

Dietary Supplements $6 Billion Market • They are classified as “Nutritional Supplements” They are not foods, and not drugs.* • Supplements are “Product intended to supplement the diet and contains vitamins, minerals, botanicals, amino acids, and their extracts.” • NOT consumed as a food replacement • Loosely regulated, “not evaluated by FDA” By definitiona “drug” is used to “prevent, treat or cure” disease. These terms cannot be used with supplements. Use of some supplements is backed by scientific data.

Dr. Montville’s Favorite Supplements • Glucosamine • Omega 3 • Folic acid • Ginko baloba • Ground rhino’s horn.

Fat Soluble Vitamins • A – orange, carotenoids, vision, antioxidant- used as color and antioxidant • D – we make it with sunlight, deficiency causes rickets, in milk, regulates Ca:P ratios • E – tocopherols, antioxidants, role in preventing stroke, cancer, heart disease- used as antioxidant • K – contributes to blood clotting factor

Vitamin A Lots of double bonds, good anti-oxidant

Vitamin A • Carrotinoids Used in food industry as a colorant (orange) (label friendly) • Antioxidant (label friendly) • Stored in liver • Important for sight • Deficiency causes ~500,000 cases of “night blindness” worldwide • Genetically engineered rice with high Vitamin A can prevent night blindness • Carrotenosis

Vitamin D • Also known as calciferol due to its role in calcium absorption • Main role is to maintain calcium and potassium levels • It is the only fat soluble vitamin that we can make- in the presence of sunlight • Can be made from cholesterol

Vitamin D • Can be stored in fat tissues (as can all fat soluble vitamins) • Elderly and shut ins are at risk- not enough sunlight • We get vitamin D form fortified milk and cereal • Toxicity is very dangerous • Occurs only from excess supplementation • Can lead to calcium deposits in kidneys, heart and blood vessels

Vitamin D Rickets can be caused by lack of sunlight, but also from insufficient calcium. Vitamin D linked to calcium absorption. (Rickets reported in NYC.)

Vitamin E • A family of eight naturally occurring compounds • Used as an anti-oxidant in foods • Since aging is considered an “oxidation” reaction, many “anti-oxidants” are used as dietary supplements • Deficiencies are not well understood • Role is stroke, cancer, heart, and immune response • Americans spend $300 million per year on vitamin E supplements

Vitamin K • Contributes to synthesis of seven blood clotting factors • Can be reactivated to continue biological action • Works as a cofactor for an enzyme that makes two bone proteins

Water Soluble Vitamins • Relatively cheap to add to food • Only Vitamin C is used for its functionality

Water Soluble Vitamins • B1, thiamine • B2, riboflavin • B6, pyridoxamine • B12 • Biotin • Panothenic acid • Niacin • Folacin • Vitamin C

Water Soluble Vitamins • Vitamin B1 • Thiamine • Involved in carbohydrate metabolism • Helps body metabolize glucose, affects central nervous system • Deficiency causes Beri beri (Singlese, “I can’t, I can’t”) • B2- riboflavin • Energy metabolism

Water Soluble Vitamins • B6 - Pyridoxamine • Neurotransmitter, co-enzyme in over 100 reactions • B12 – • Development of red blood cells • Lack of it makes one anemic • Hard for vegans to get

Water Soluble Vitamins • Biotin – • Involved in fatty acid synthesis • Deficiency causes skin disease and hair loss • Panthothenic acid • Found in many foods • Essential for metabolism of carbohydrates, protein, alcohol and fat

Water Soluble Vitamins • Choline • A major component of cell membranes • Folacin = Folate = Folic acid • Deficiency causes neural tube defects – in utero • Took Rutgers Professor 20 years to for FDA approval as enrichment Why?

Vitamin C • Ascorbic acid • Very inexpensive to add to food, marketing tool. Antioxidant • Deficiency leads to bleeding gums, hemorrhages • High in citrus fruits, limes, (Limeys)

Vitamin C - Scurvy

Niacin (B3) • Energy metabolism • Disease – pellagra – The Four D’s • Dermatitis • Diarrhea • Dementia • Death

Minerals • Issues • Absorption • Bioavailability

Minerals • Percent of Body weight • Calcium 2% • Phosphorus 1% • Potassium 0.3% • Sulfur 0.2% • Sodium 0.1% • Chloride 0.1% • Magnesium 0.05% • Iron 0.04%

Minerals • Calcium • 99% is structural • ~25% absorption • Vitamin D aids absorption • 75% is obtained from dairy products • Many products are fortified with it • Built in youth, lost in maturity Very hard for vegans to get enough calcium

Calcium • Osteoporosis – a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences • 1.5 million fractures each year- major cause of subsequent mortality (25% within one year) • 14 billion in direct health cost • 25 million women at risk • DRI women 600 – 800 mg/day National Osteoporosis Foundation www.nof.org

Risk Factors- By Mayo Clinic staff Your gender. Age. Race. Frame size. Eating disorders. Low calcium intake. Excess soda consumption (Ca:P ratio). The link between osteoporosis and caffeinated sodas isn't clear, but caffeine may interfere with calcium absorption and its diuretic effect may increase mineral loss. In addition, the phosphoric acid in soda may contribute to bone loss. Bone density can be improved at any time.

Soda is the devil’s drink • Extra calories • Poor nutrient density • Interferes with calcification • Replaces more nutritious drinks

Minerals • Phosphorus • Easily absorbed by the body • Enhanced by Vitamin D • Deficiency are rare • Soda, phosphoric acid • Potassium • A primary electrolyte in blood • Associated with lower blood pressure • Athletes

Minerals • Sodium and Chloride • Added during processing • Enhances flavor • We consume 2X of what we need (DV = 2.4 grams, 1/10 ounce) (show) • Excess Sodium can lead to hypertension • High blood pressure • Salt sensitivity – genetics and race

Salt – Uses in Food • Enhances other flavors, cuts cost • Salty taste, per se • Increases consumer acceptance • Raises boiling point of liquids (pasta) • Masks bitter tastes • Food safety • Water binding

Minerals • Sulfur • Necessary for collagen formation • Magnesium • Abundant in plants

Minerals • Iron • Most common and easily preventable deficiency • Needed for oxygen absorption, immune function, developmental performance • Poor absorption from plant sources • Low iron causes anemia, especially in menstruating women • Toxicity • 6 – 12 vitamins with 100% iron content will kill a small child (The dose makes the poison.)

Fortification vs Enrichment • Fortification - restores lost nutrients due to processing • Enrichment – adds nutritional value to meet a specific standard

Antero Foundation presents $60,000 check to West Virginia-based ‘GameChanger’ program

B RIDGEPORT, W.Va. (WBOY) — On Wednesday, Antero Resources held a check presentation in its Bridgeport office location to present $60,000 to GameChanger for the expansion of its prevention education programs throughout West Virginia.

GameChanger is a multifaceted, student-powered substance misuse prevention program utilized in grades K-12 across 18 counties and 55 schools throughout West Virginia. According to GameChanger’s founder, the Antero Foundation has been a supportive donor since the program’s inception in 2018.

Gov. Jim Justice, who plays the role of “head coach” in the GameChanger programming, also paid a visit to Antero’s check presentation to speak on the importance of the program.

12 News spoke with GameChanger’s Founder and Executive Director Joe Bocek on, the significance of incorporating this program in early education.

“Prevention is the key. Just think about it, if a child never picks up any type of a drug, there’s no addiction. If there’s no addiction, there’s no market for fentanyl. If there’s no market for fentanyl, fentanyl goes away in the United States. We have to start young and teach the kids about being healthy with their bodies, living healthy lifestyles and teach them about all the adverse effects that using drugs can have on their bodies,” said Bocek.

The $60,000 will go toward the expansion of GameChanger’s prevention education in Harrison, Doddridge, Richie, Tyler and Wetzel counties.

You can learn more about GameChanger through its website .
