  Vitamin E
Vitamin E is integral part of cellular membranes whose main role is to defend the cell against oxidation.
Vitamin E is a lipid soluble vitamin and therefore over 90% of total body vitamin E is found in the adipose tissue (19,32).
Vitamin E also acts as a cell membrane stabilizer, which is postulated by some researchers to be the primary mechanism for its prevention of muscle damage (19,31).

 vitamin K
Vitamin K1 was named phylloquinone since it is an indirect product of photosynthesis in plant leaves where it occurs in chloroplasts and participates in the overall photosynthetic process.
Vitamin K (its reduced form) is necessary for post-translational modification of coagulation factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX and X in the liver.
Vitamin K1 (MW: 450.7) is a yellow viscous oil with a maximum absorbance at 248 nm (molar abs coeff.:19900, the same for menaquinones), soluble in ethanol, hexane, chloroform and vegetable oils.

 Cholesterol, Asthma, Stress Management, Vitamin C
Vitamin C is number one on the list of antioxidants employed as a defense against cancer and is regarded as the most powerful anticarcinogenic nutrient known.
Vitamin C taken when dieting can help the process to be healthier by ridding the body of toxic compounds that are released whenever fat is metabolized.
While consuming 60 mg/day of vitamin C may be sufficient to prevent deficiency symptoms, at least 100 to 250 mg is needed to saturate the tissues.

 Vitamin A Intake and Hip Fractures Among Postmenopausal Women
As was done for the vitamin A and carotenoid measures, the covariate nutrient intakes that are correlated with total energy intake (all except alcohol and caffeine) were adjusted for total energy, and all were cumulatively updated during follow-up.
Table 1 outlines the changes in vitamin A, retinol, and beta carotene intakes and in consumption patterns of supplements and foods that were major contributors to vitamin A intake in the NHS cohort during follow-up.
A deleterious effect of vitamin A on bone may also operate through its antagonistic relationship with vitamin D. In a recent study in humans, a vitamin A dose corresponding to about 1 serving of liver was shown to severely diminish the ability of vitamin D to increase intestinal calcium absorption.

 A O U - Vitamin C
The most compelling evidence we have that vitamin C is a macro nutrient which is required daily in large quantities is that the vast majority of animals synthesize large quantities of vitamin C in their bodies every day, proportional to their body weight.
Since one function of vitamin C is to protect body tissue from attack by various toxins and oxidizing agents, such as so-called "free radicals", its presence in one's urine and feces is desirable and, thus, some excess intake is desirable.
They and vitamin C have been shown in numerous studies to be helpful in preventing and treating cancer and heart disease as well as in preventing many of the effects of aging.

 Chapter 10. Vitamin K
Vitamin K is the family name for a series of fat-soluble compounds, which have a common 2-methyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone nucleus but differ in the structures of a side chain at the 3-position.
Vitamin K is extensively metabolised in the liver and excreted in the urine and bile.
Vitamin K itself is too lipophilic to be excreted in the bile and the sidechain-shortened carboxylic acid metabolites are not biologically active.

 Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet: Vitamin D   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
One cup of vitamin D fortified milk supplies one-half of the recommended daily intake for adults between the ages of 19 and 50, one-fourth of the recommended daily intake for adults between the ages of 51 and 70, and approximately 15% of the recommended daily intake for adults age 71 and over.
Vitamin D deficiency, which is often seen in post-menopausal women and older Americans [4], has been associated with greater incidence of hip fractures [39-41].
Vitamin D emerged as a protective factor in a study of over 3,000 adults (96% of whom were men) who underwent a colonoscopy between 1994 and 1997 to look for polyps or lesions in the colon.

 Chapter 8. Vitamin D   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Vitamin D is required to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphate, that are in turn needed for the normal mineralisation of bone, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, and general cellular function in all cells of the body.
Vitamin D also modulates the transcription of cell cycle proteins, that decrease cell proliferation and increase cell differentiation of a number of specialised cells of the body (e.g., osteoclastic precursors, enterocytes, keratinocytes, etc.).
Furthermore, because transfer of vitamin D from mother to foetus is important for establishing the newborn’s growth rate, the goal of ensuring adequate vitamin D status with conventional prenatal vitamin D supplements probably should not be discouraged.

 Vitamin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vitamins are biomolecules that act both as catalysts and substrates in chemical reactions.
Vitamins are classified as either water soluble, meaning that they dissolve easily in water, or fat soluble, and are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of lipids.
However, a few vitamins are obtained by other means: for example, microorganisms in the intestine - commonly known as "gut flora" - produce vitamin K and biotin, while one form of vitamin D is synthesized in the skin with the help of natural ultraviolet in sunlight.

 Riboflavin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
or vitamin G, is an easily absorbed micronutrient with a key role in maintaining health in animals.
Riboflavin is yellow or orange-yellow in colour and in addition to being used as a food colouring it is also used to fortify some foods.
Riboflavin is found naturally in asparagus, okra, chard, cottage cheese, milk, yogurt, meat, eggs, and fish, each of which contain at least 0.1 mg of the vitamin per 3-10.5 oz (85-300 g) serving.

 The Vitamin C Foundation - RDA
The Vitamin C Foundation recommends that every man, woman and child over the age of 3 consume at least 3 g (3000 mg) vitamin C daily in order to enjoy optimum health.
Pauling wrote that his recommendation was based on the large amounts of vitamin C animals make for themselves, and on the amount humans must ingest orally to achieve similar levels.
The Foundation recommends 1 g vitamin C for children based on their age, up to the age of 3.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Richard Louv -- Designing with vitamin G in mind
For researchers in the Netherlands, the G stands for green; specifically the effect of green space on health and learning and feelings of social safety.
But vitamin G is a handy way of thinking about the benefits of what a growing cadre of psychologists, health researchers, architects and urban designers call “restorative environmental design” or “biophilic design.”
If vitamin G can have such an impact on cardiac patients, think what it could do for employees stuck in long meetings.
