[2 CE HRS] Nutrition/Clinical – Fat-soluble vitamins like D, E, A & K present a fascinating paradox—essential for health yet potentially harmful in excess due to their storage in body tissues. This exploration examines the “vital amines” crucial to mammalian biochemistry, focusing on human requirements, the balancing act between deficiency and toxicity, and the science of nutritional optimization.

Clinical Nutrition: Understanding Vitamins D, E, A & K
(2 CE)
Instructor: Dr. Alan Cook, DC
The human body has a unique metabolic chemistry. Is a daily multi vitamin sufficient? Can you (and should you) take more than the recommended daily requirement? Fat-soluble vitamins like D and E present a fascinating paradox—essential for health yet potentially harmful in excess due to their storage in body tissues. This exploration examines the “vital amines” crucial to mammalian biochemistry, focusing on human requirements, the balancing act between deficiency and toxicity, and the current science of nutritional optimization beyond minimum daily requirements.
Not all vitamins are created equal, nor do they function identically in the body. Vitamins A and K exemplify this complexity as fat-soluble nutrients with profound effects on human health. Both can be obtained through diverse dietary sources—yet present different considerations regarding absorption, storage, and optimal intake levels.
