inhibited by alcohol consumption// thiaminase (enzyme) found in raw fish acts as an
anti-thiamin factor that decreases absorption

what are some factors that affect the bioavailability of folate? correct answers synthetic
vs natural form (1.7x better absorbed than naturally)// lost through food prep and
cooking

fat soluble vitamins? correct answers A,D,E,K

water soluble vitamins? correct answers
Thiamin/Riboflavin/Folate/Biotin/B6/B12/Pantothenic Acid/Niacin/Vt C

water soluble vitamins characteristics correct answers absorbed through
passive/facillitated diffusion// transported directly into bloodstream// store very little
(recycling)// readily in urine// toxicity uncommon// consume regularily

fat soluble vitamin characteristics correct answers require fat/bile to be absorbed//
transports--lymphatic muscles, then blood vessels// more stored--adipose and liver
tissues//little to no excretion in urine// toxicity is common//not needed daily

the bioavailability of vitamins depends on? correct answers efficiency of digestion
(diarrhea/bariatric surgery/gallbladder disease DECREASE)// previous nutrient intake
and nutritional status//foods eaten at the same time//food processing and prep//sources
of vitamin (synthetic vs natural)

sign of toxicity? correct answers cholesterolemia// doses of 1-2 GRAMS// should look
out for niacin flush

why does a person with high protein intake have a greater need for vitamin B6? correct

muscle is prime reservoir)

alice is 25 and 8 weeks pregnant// what are the folate requirements for male&female/
pregnant/ and breastfeeding? correct answers 400ug/600ug/500ug

the digestion process of folate correct answers 1) in food, folate is polyglutamate. in the
intestine, digestion breaks glutamates off and adds methyl--folate is absorbed and
delivered to cells
2) in cells, folate is trapped in inactive form
3) to activate, B12 removes and keeps methyl which activates B12
4) folate and B12 coenzyme are active and available synthesis

folate occurs as what form naturally and what form in supplements? correct answers
polyglutamate, mono glutamate

why is folate more readily absorbed in synthetic form? correct answers some folate
sources (food) contain substances that affect absorption
ex: FBP, found in dairy products, is destroyed when heat is applied (folate lost through
food prep and cooking)

why are elderly adults at risk for B12 deficiency? correct answers without intrinsic
factor, VtB12 is POORLY ABSORBED
***intrinsic factor decreases with increased age

, why do smokers have an increased need for vitamin C? correct answers smokers need
the antioxidant feature of vitamin C to attempt to counteract the damage done to the

selenium is part of what enzyme system and how does selenium intake affect risk for

answers ** the most important function of chromium is maintaining blood glucose
control by enhancing the activity of insulin// chromium is essential for glucose tolerance

what are properties of water soluble vitamins ? correct answers readily excreted, need
