		Vitamin A and Vitamin C are sometimes used as slang terms for alcoholic beverages and caffeine, respectively.
		The irony here is that the first "vitamin" bioactivity ever isolated, which cured rickets, was initially called vitamine A, this bioactivity is now called vitamin D, which is subject to the semantic debate that vitamin D is not truly a vitamin because it is a steroid derivative.
		Vitamin W is sometimes used as a colloquialism for water.

	Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol, Calcitriol)
		Vitamin D stimulates the expression of a number of proteins involved in transporting calcium from the lumen of the intestine, across the epithelial cells and into blood.
		Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that has long been known for its important role in regulating body levels of calcium and phosphorus, and in mineralization of bone.
		However, studies of humans and animals with vitamin D deficiency or mutations in the vitamin D receptor suggest that these effects are perhaps not of major physiologic importance, and that the crutial effect of vitamin D on bone is to provide the proper balance of calcium and phosphorus to support mineralization.

	Linus Pauling lectures on Vitamin C and Heart Disease
		Vitamin C's link to healthy blood vessels, Pauling said, is further supported by studies of scurvy, the disease caused by vitamin C deficiency.
		Pauling has published studies asserting that lipoprotein-a is a surrogate for vitamin C, serving to strengthen blood vessel walls in the absence of adequate amounts of the vitamin in the diet.
		According to Pauling, the vitamin's versatility in illness prevention arises from its role in the manufacture of collagen, the protein that gives shape to connective tissues and strength to skin and blood vessels.

		Vitamin K is a group name for a number of related compounds, which have in common a methylated naphthoquinone ring structure, and which vary in the aliphatic side chain attached at the 3-position (see figure 1).
		Vitamin K is involved in the carboxylation of certain glutamate residues in proteins to form gamma-carboxyglutamate residues (abbreviated Gla-residues).
		The precise function of vitamin K was not discovered until 1974, when Stenflo et al isolated the vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor prothrombin (Factor II) from cows that had received a high dose of the vitamin K antagonist warfarin.

	Vitamin poisoning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In terms of the likelihood of poisoning, Vitamin D seems to be one of the least poisonous substances known.
		Vitamin poisoning, or hypervitaminosis, refers to a condition of high storage levels of vitamins, which can lead to toxic symptoms.
		Conversely, certain vitamins do not produce toxicity in excess levels: vitamin C has been used in clinical trials in dosages over 100,000 mg — over 1000 times the daily recommended intake — without ill effects.

	Vitamin D - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid hormone precursor that contributes to the maintenance of normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the bloodstream.
		A severe deficiency of vitamin D leads to rickets in children, which is a softening of the bones owing to faulty mineralization, and a similar condition in adults, osteomalacia.
		To maintain blood levels of calcium, therapeutic vitamin D doses are sometimes administered (up to 100,000 IU or 2.5 mg daily) to patients who have had their parathyroid glands removed (most commonly renal dialysis patients who have had tertiary hyperparathyroidism, but also patients with primary hyperparathyroidism) or who suffer with hypoparathyroidism.
