  4. Water Soluble Vitamins • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) • B1 • B2 • Niacin • Folacin • B6 • B12

  5. Function of Fat Soluble Vitamins • Vitamin A- carotene converts to Vitamin A for: vision, growth, nerves • Vitamin D- bones, teeth and helps to use minerals Ca and P • Vitamin E- energy, cell membranes and antioxidants • Vitamin K- blood clotting (you only need a small amount)

  7. Function of WaterSoluble Vitamins • Folacin- red blood cells, synthesize DNA, cell division and prevents certain birth defects • B6 (Pyridoxine)- Immune and nervous system and needs to be replaced daily • B12 (Cobalamin)- generation of DNA cells, bone marrow and red blood cells

  9. Food Sources • Vitamin E • Green leafy vegetables • Fruits • Whole grains • Liver • Apples • Oil • Fats

  10. Food Sources • Vitamin K • Dark green vegetables • Cabbage • Cauliflower • Liver • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) • Citrus fruits • Cantaloupe • Strawberries • Pineapples
