List of vitamins and minerals essential for human health v2.0
You can measure your vitamins in your body. List of Vitamins and Minerals Essential for Human Health Vitamins: Vitamin A (includes forms like A1, A2, and precursors like Beta Carotene) Vitamin A1 (Retinol): The primary form found in animal sources. Vitamin A2 (Dehydroretinol): A less common form found in some freshwater fish. Role: Essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - Crucial for energy production and nerve function. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) - Supports energy production and cell function. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) - Important for DNA repair and energy metabolism. Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) - Aids in hormone synthesis and energy production. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) - Supports brain function and hormone regulation. Vitamin B7 (Biotin) - Essential for hair, skin, and nail health. Vitamin B9 (Folate) - Vital for DNA synthesis and cell division, especially during pregnancy. Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) - Necessary for nerve function and red blood cell production. Vitamin C - Supports immune function, wound healing, and antioxidant activity. Vitamin D (includes forms like D1, D2, D3, D4) Vitamin D1: A historical term, sometimes referring to a mixture of D compounds. Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol): Derived from plant sources and supplements. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Synthesized in the skin via sunlight and found in animal sources; most effective in raising blood levels. Vitamin D4 (22-Dihydroergocalciferol): A less common form, not typically significant in human nutrition. Role: Crucial for bone health, calcium absorption, and immune function. Vitamin E - Acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage. Vitamin K - Essential for blood clotting and bone health. Minerals: Calcium - Vital for strong bones and teeth, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Phosphorus - Important for bone health, energy production, and cell membrane function. Magnesium - Supports muscle and nerve function, energy production, and bone health. Sodium - Essential for maintaining fluid balance, nerve transmission, and muscle contractions. Potassium - Crucial for heart function, muscle contractions, and maintaining fluid balance. Chloride - Works with sodium to maintain fluid balance and supports digestion. Iron - Necessary for oxygen transport in the blood and energy production. Zinc - Supports immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. Copper - Important for iron metabolism, connective tissue formation, and energy production. Iodine - Essential for thyroid hormone production, which regulates metabolism. Selenium - Acts as an antioxidant and supports thyroid function. Manganese - Involved in bone development, metabolism, and antioxidant activity. Chromium - Helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports insulin function. Molybdenum - Necessary for enzyme function and metabolism of certain amino acids. Fluoride - Supports dental health by strengthening tooth enamel (optional, as its necessity is debated).
