The Vitamins: Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health, Fifth Edition, provides the latest coverage of the biochemistry and physiology of vitamins and vitamin-like substances. Health-related themes present insights into the use of vitamins, not only for general nutritional balance, but also as a factor in the prevention and/or treatment of specific health issues, such as overall immunity, inflammatory diseases, obesity, and anemia.
Readers will gain an understanding of the roles vitamins play in gene expression and epigenetics, providing important information on the further development of personalized medical treatments that will also allow them to establish appropriate dietary programs based on individual genetic profiles.
This cohesive, well-organized presentation of each vitamin includes key words, case studies, and coverage of the metabolic functions of appropriate vitamins. The readability of this complex content is highly regarded by students, instructors, researchers, and professionals alike.
Includes diagnostic trees for vitamin deficiencies to help readers visually understand and recognize signs of specific deficiencies Updated tables and figures throughout serve as quick references and support key takeaways Provides learning aids, such as call-out boxes to increase comprehension and retention of important concepts

The Vitamins: Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health, Sixth Edition presents both overviews and in-depth discussions of the sources, chemistry, metabolism and functions of these essential nutrients in physiology and health. Sections cover perspectives (history of discovery, general properties and impacts), individual Vitamins (their respective chemistries, metabolism), and their dietary sources and global needs. In addition, the inclusion and interpretation of recent clinical research findings relevant to all vitamins, particularly vitamins A, D, E, K, C, thiamin, folate and vitamin B12 is included, along with an expanded discussion on single-carbon metabolism), implications to neuropathies, and more. Presents complete information about vitamins in a format useful as both a teaching text and desk reference Includes coverage of vitamin-related topics not typically found in general nutrition texts (e.g., enteric microbial biosynthesis of vitamins, global prevalence of deficiencies, diagnosing 'silent' asymptomatic vitamin deficiencies, histories of vitamin discoveries) Contains useful appendices of key reference information (e.g., vitamin requirements of humans and animals, vitamin contents of foods, sources of vitamin information)

The Vitamins: Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health, Seventh Edition presents both overviews and in-depth discussions of the sources, chemistry, metabolism and functions of these essential nutrients in physiology and health. Originally written 35 years ago as an upper-level collegiate text, The Vitamins: Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health, Seventh Edition, through its several revised editions, has become the leading recognized comprehensive reference text in the fields of nutrition and food science. The seventh edition is designed to support advanced instruction on the subject, and provide both metabolic detail plus key recent research findings that have been pivotal in shaping understanding of the roles of this class of essential nutrients in the health of humans and animals. Comprised of three thematic sections: Perspectives on the Vitamins in Nutrition, (history of discovery, general properties and impacts of deficiencies and excess), The Individual Vitamins (their respective chemistries, metabolism and metabolic functions), and Using the Current Knowledge of the Vitamins, (dietary sources, global needs, assessment of vitamin status)The Vitamins: Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health, Seventh Edition opens with a short section that presents suggestions for using this book as a desk reference, and a teaching guide for classroom/on-line instruction. Updates to discussions-particularly of metabolism, functions and clinical aspects-along with increased coverage of vitamins as dietary supplements including the latest regulatory information, add value to this edition. Further building upon previous editions of this widely used reference text, readers will gain updated information on the inclusion and interpretation of recent clinical research findings relevant to all vitamins, particularly vitamins A, D, E, K, C, thiamin, folate and vitamin B12. The latest information on nutritional deficiencies and ecological approaches to dealing with them along with a section on vitamin-drug interactions will also be included. Readers will also encounter a revised table of signs of vitamin deficiencies in humans and animals, updated information on the roles of the gut microbiome in vitamin synthesis and metabolism, increased focus on vitamins as nutritional supplements, increased focus on vitamin stabilities in foods including processing and cooking losses and a decision tree addressing the question: “Could I benefit from a vitamin supplement?.” At the end of each chapter, case studies, a quiz and recommended reading list will be included.Presents complete information about the vitamins in a format useful as both a teaching text and desk referenceIncludes updated coverage of vitamin-related topics not typically found in general nutrition texts including increased focus on vitamin stabilities in foods including processing and cooking lossesHighlights added expressions of food vitamin contents on per serving bases in chapter tables of food sources and updated vitamin labeling per FDA regulationsProvides updated information on the roles of the gut microbiome in vitamin synthesis and metabolismContains enhanced appendices of key reference information including new Key Vitamin Information Table and updated questions to examine vitamin knowledge
