They trigger cellular processes throughout your body. You can’t live – or at least you can’t live well – without them. Vitamins are necessary for the normal functioning, growth, repair, and maintenance of all of the cells and tissues in the body. They contribute to health and well-being by helping regulate metabolism and assisting in the biochemical processes that release energy from digested food. Vitamins are either fat-soluble or water-soluble The difference reflects the way your body absorbs, transports and stores them. The water-soluble vitamins – B and C – are absorbed by intestinal cells and delivered directly to your blood stream. Your body can only store small amounts of these vitamins – and then for only one to four days (B12 is the one exception to this rule). So you need to replenish water-soluble vitamins every day. Vitamin A Vitamin A refers to a family of fat-soluble retinoids, which include retinol, retinal and retinoic acid, plus provitamin A carotenoids, such as beta-carotene. They perform three basic functions within the body: vision, the growth and development of many types of tissues, and immunity. Several different cells in the eye (retina, cornea and the epithelium) depend on the presence of vitamin A for the maintenance of the structural integrity of these cells for optimal visual health. Dietary sources high in vitamin A include beef liver, carrots, sweet potato, chicken liver, spinach, fortified milk, mangos and collard greens. Vitamin D Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient that undergoes conversion in the liver and kidneys to form a physiologically active form of vitamin D called calcitriol. Active vitamin D’s most significant role is to increase calcium absorption, which helps form and maintain healthy bones and teeth. Other physiological functions include maintenance of normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. There are two forms of vitamin D: D2 and D3. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is found in yeast and plants that have been exposed to ultraviolet light. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), however, is found in animal products and is also made in the body when sunlight triggers its synthesis in the skin.
