Hin the last few years, knowledge about vitamins has increased dramatically, resulting in improved understanding of human requirements for many vitamins. These include vitamins A, D, K, E, B 6 , B 12 , niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, pantothenic acid, biotin, folate, choline, and ascorbic acid. The chapter on epigenetics has been updated and expanded to include novel findings about vitamins not previously considered in studies of nutrient-dependent epigenome modification.
The book also contains a new chapter on genome stability, highlighting current understanding of vitamin?genome interactions in the evolution of the human genome and the functional consequences of human genetic variation.
Abstract And Figures
The need for micronutri-
ents depends on the metabolic activities as well as on the life cycle of an individual. Even in intrauterine life, the need for micronutrients is essential for the normal
development of the fetus.
In particular , vitamin D, iodine, iron, and folic acid de-
ciencies could lead to congenital disorders or even death. V egan) inuence the need for micronutrients. Fortication of food is one of the most effectiv e and safe strategies used to
enhance nourishment.
For example, mother milk feeding can be considered a type
of fortication, which is essential for the healthy growth of babies up to 2years of
age (Allen and Dror 2018 ). Micronutrients play an important role in reduction in the
risk of disease and the maintenance of good health. Therefore, micronutrients are essential for growth and metabolism.
Nutrients provide basic molecules which humans are unable to

An endless array of vitamin and mineral supplements are available to health-conscious consumers today, and an increasing number of individuals have incorporated these supplements into their daily routines. Unfortunately, their use is often inspired by rumor rather than sound medical advice.
Instead of relying on media hype and often-conflicting “word-of-mouth” information, people who take nutritional supplements need an authoritative, evidence-based reference text about self-medication with vitamins and minerals. It covers the effects of the deficiency of each nutrient, its primary uses, dosages, food sources, potential side effects, and mechanism of action, helping readers make informed decisions about use of these under-regulated, over-the-counter “nutraceuticals.”
Provides coverage of 39 different supplements, including vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, biotin, vitamin B12, iron, calcium, and coenzyme Q10
Supplies a thorough and evidence-based examination of the facts and fiction behind supplements
Includes a bibliography containing over 1,000 medical references.
