(Tıp) (e) Vücudun normal metabolizma faaliyeti üzerine tesirleri olan ve yoklukları ağır hastalık tablolarının meydana gelmesine sebep olan madde, vitamin (Bakınız: A Glossary of Chemistry)
(Osmanlı Dönemi) Fr. Vücudda yokluğu bazı hastalıklara yol açan ve taze yiyeceklerde ve bazı meyvalarda bulunan organik madde. A, B, C, D, E gibi remizlerle gösterilen çeşitleri vardır
any of a group of substances that are essential in small quantities for the normal functioning of the metabolism in the body They can not normally be synthesized by the body but occur naturally in certain foods The most important vitamins for keeping your skin renewed and healthy, are the vitamins A (retinyl palmitate), C (ascorbic acid) and E (tocopherol)
accessory food factors needed in extremely small quantities by the body, without which it would not function properly
Essential substances that must be consumed because the body is unable to manufacture them They are required to maintain health and normal body functions and to prevent the diseases that result from consuming insufficient amounts Tomatoes are a significant source of VITAMIN A AND VITAMIN C
Tiny facsimiles of cave people Mom forces you to swallow each morning as part of her sinister plot to have you grow up to be "Just like Daddy "
Organic compounds that function as metabolic regulators in the body Classified as water soluble or fat soluble Vitamins cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained through diet or supplements
Essential organic compounds required in trace amounts for normal growth and metabolism in the body Scientists are just beginning to understand the important roles of vitamins in the health of eyes Significant evidence suggests that some vitamins are critical to the maintenance of healthy eyes For instance, Vitamin A is proven to help prevent night blindness; Vitamin C helps increase visual acuity and reduces the risk of developing glaucoma; and vitamin E may help prevent cataracts In addition, minerals like Copper, Selenium, Manganese and Zinc all seem to play a part in maintaining eyes Several commercial vitamin products are now available specifically for the eyes See Free Eye Tests
organic substances, needed in minute amounts; they are essential to life and cannot be made in the body Their function is usually regulatory rather than structural Vitamins are obtained from food, though some are ingested in their precursor or "provitamin" form and convened to active substances within the body Vitamins are distinguished as either water-soluble (the B and C vitamins), or fat-soluble (A, D, E, K, and beta-carotene) The latter require protein carriers in the blood and are stored in the liver and fatty tissue Excess water-soluble vitamins are readily excreted, but there is potential for toxicity with fat-soluble vitamins
A group of substances essential for normal metabolism; growth and development; and regulation of cell function Vitamins work together with enzymes, co-factors (substances that assist enzymes), and other substances
Any of a specific group of organic compounds essential in small quantities for healthy human growth, metabolism, development, and body function; found in minute amounts in plant and animal foods or sometimes produced synthetically; deficiencies of specific vitamins produce specific disorders
Any of various organic substances essential in small quantities to the nutrition and normal metabolism of most animals Vitamins are found in minute quantities in food, in some cases are produced by the body, and are also produced synthetically
Any group of organic compounds that the body needs for normal growth, development, and metabolism Most cannot be synthesized by the body so must be supplied by the diet The lack of a vitamin can cause a deficiency disease
an organic substance that acts as a coenzyme and/or regulator of metabolic processes There are 13 known vitamins, most of which are present in foods or supplements; some are produced within the body Vitamins are crucial for many bodily functions including a healthy immune response
Literally, vital amines A wide range of compounds that are either water-soluble or fat-soluble and are necessary components of the diet of higher organisms, such as mammals
Vitamins are substances that you need in order to remain healthy, which are found in food or can be eaten in the form of pills. Butter, margarine, and oily fish are all good sources of vitamin D. Organic compound required in small amounts in the diet to maintain normal metabolic functions. The term vitamine (1911) was changed to vitamin when it was realized that not all vitamins are amines (i.e., not all contain nitrogen). Many vitamins act as or are converted to coenzymes. They neither provide energy nor are incorporated into tissues. Water-soluble vitamins (vitamin B complex, vitamin C) are excreted quickly. Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K) require bile salts for absorption and are stored in the body. The normal functions of many vitamins are known. Deficiency of specific vitamins can lead to diseases (including beriberi, neural tube defect, pernicious anemia, rickets, and scurvy). Excess amounts, especially of fat-soluble vitamins, can also be dangerous: e.g., too much vitamin A causes liver damage, an effect not seen with beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Several vitamins are now known to support the immune system. Most vitamins are adequately supplied by a balanced diet, but people with higher requirements may need supplements. vitamin B vitamin D deficiency vitamin C deficiency vitamin A vitamin B complex vitamin C vitamin D vitamin E vitamin K
Any of many organic substances that are vital in small amounts to the normal functioning of the body Vitamins are found in food, produced by the body, and manufactured synthetically; along with minerals, they are known as micronutrients
- An essential nutrient that is required by the body and that must be obtained through diet or supplementation Vitamins and minerals are essential components in enzymes (speed up reactions) and coenzymes (help enzymes in their chemical reactions) Vitamins can be classified into two groups: water-soluble and fat-soluble Water-soluble vitamins must be taken into the body daily as they can't be stored and are excreted within one to four days Fat-soluble vitamins can be stored for longer periods of time in the body's fatty tissue and liver
Any organic substance that is essential to human health, and which the body cannot make for itself, at least not in sufficient quantities Vitamins are added to foods to increase their nutritional value
one of the six types of nutrients needed to sustain human life Vitamins help form blood cells, hormones, and genetic material Vitamins are found in meat and dairy products, vegetables, fruits, cereals, and grains
approximately fifteen essential nutrients that the body can not manufacture and that need to be supplied for life and health Vitamins are found in a healthy diet consisting of adequate fruits and vegetables
