Description
A clear, concise guide that brings the rapidly expanding world of vitamins within reach of both laboratory students and curious readers. Beginning with the early mystery of beri‑beri and Casimir Funk’s coining of “vitamine,” the book traces how a handful of mysterious food factors grew into a family of essential nutrients, each with its own story and significance.
Organized into short, practical chapters, the manual covers everything from early attempts to pin down the chemicals’ structures to the laboratory tests that verify their presence. Readers will find useful tables of food sources, a rundown of the physiological roles of vitamins A, B and C, and straightforward advice on incorporating these factors into a balanced diet. A bibliography and notes on ongoing controversies round out a resource that feels both scholarly and approachable, ideal for anyone eager to explore the science behind the nutrients that keep us healthy.
