VİTAMİNS



VİTAMİNS :

They are chemical substances needed in very small quantities for growth

and good health .

They function in the absorption and assimilation of nutrients in food

such as :

• cell formation

• blood clothing

• wound healing

• integrity of the epitelial cells

• energy production from the energy yielding nutrients

• activation of enzymes etc.

The adult body contains 7 – 8 g. Of vitamin compounds.

AVİTAMİNOSİS : Is the deficiency disease due to the lack of a vitamin.

VİTAMİNS

A ) FAT SOLUBLE VİT. B ) WATRE SOLUBLE VİT.

A -- D – E – K B copmlex and Vit. C

A ) FAT SOLUBLE VİTAMİNS :

• are not destroyed by ordinary cooking metods

• are stored in the body
