Produktbeschreibung
Although traditionally classified as a vitamin, it is a nutrient obtained through food sources, and its complex role as a bioactive compound necessitates a more refined perspective. The idea that vitamins should only be referred to as "vitamin" when discussing deficiency situations is gaining support, emphasizing the diverse impact these compounds have on human physiology beyond basic nutritional needs. While vitamin supplementation is frequently recommended to resolve deficiencies, the optimal dosage and the long-term implications remain topics of ongoing debate. An individual's genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, and other health conditions all shape the body's response to supplementation. Over-supplementation can also present risks, demanding careful monitoring and personalized approaches. This book explores the evolving understanding of vitamins, moving beyond the basic "vitamin" designation to examine their complex interactions within the body and their impact on various disease processes. It examines the limitations of seeing vitamins solely through the perspective of deficiency, recognizing their wider role as regulators of gene expression and influencing numerous biological pathways. Chapters within this book address issues such as the mechanisms through which vitamins influence various physiological processes, determining optimal supplementation strategies, and establishing clear guidelines for their clinical application.
