Front 7

Thamine(B1)

Back 7

First B vitamin to be identified
Widely available:pork, legumes, whole grain, nuts seeds
deficency: bari bari-effects moral, and warnike-korsakoff syndrome in alcoholics.
No toxicity

Front 8

Riboflavin(B2)

Back 8

Sources:milk,green veggies, whole grains.
Easily destroyed by UV light,that is why milk is in opaque cartons.
Co-enzyme-energy release from all nutrients(CA cycle), and helps with vitamin absorbtion
deficiency:inflammation of membranes especially eyes and mouth

Front 9

Niacin

Back 9

Body can make it from tryptophan.
Deficency: mostly slave pop, pellagra-4D's: dermititous, diahria, dementa, death.
Toxicity: overuse of supplements, niacin flush: painful dialation of cappillaries, vomiting, diarrhea.
Source:meat, poultry, fish, legumes, grains other than corn
coenzyme in energy transfer-lower cholesterol, functions in glucose and fatty acid metabolism

Front 10

Biotin

Back 10

Coenzyme that carries CO2 in TCA cycle
Deficiency: rare-can be induced by raw egg whites which have avidin and causes nausea, hair loss, lethary.
Source: egg yolks, and a variety.
Toxicity: none reported
cooking denatures avidin

Front 11

Folate

Back 11

helps activate B12
coemzyme assists DNA synthesis and cell growth-prevents nueral tube defects in babies: spina bifia (split or open spine), anecephaly (fatal lack of brain)
deficiency: metablastic anemia(large immature RBC, O2 deficency)
sources: leafy green veggies, legumes, oranges, and fortified grains.
5 fruits/veggies a day prevents def.

Front 12

B6

Back 12

Coenzyme in amino acid metabolism, hemoglobin and DNA
toxicity: only with supplements, causes neurological damage
Deficiency: depression and confusion-hastened by high protein diet making needs more
Source: meat, fish, poultry, veggies, and fruits

Front 13

Panothenic Acid

Back 13

part of coenzyme A-cross roads compound in metabolic pathways.
deficiency: rare-involves failure of all systems.
relative nontoxic

Front 14

vitamin b12

Back 14

amino acid metabolism, DNA synthesis, folate activation and nerve sheath maintanance.
Deficiency: poor absorption or lack of intrinsic factor(atrophic gastritis is common after 60 & b12 remains attached to food & not ablsorbed)
Pernicious anemia-large immature RBC, muscle weakness, nero damage.
controversy-folate can cure blood symptoms, but not nerve damage.
source-animal products and fortified grains
