Fun fact about Vit K - it is given routinely to babies right after they are born (usually via IM injection or occasionally oral supplementation) because they are naturally low in it and don't yet have the gut bacteria that produce it which as explained in the video can affect blood clotting. It reduces the rate of intracranial haemorrhage which can cause brain damage - particularly important for babies who have had more traumatic births (i.e. vacuum or forceps assisted births).

I had extreme dryness in my eyes, lips, skin, hair as well as joint pain in my knees and hips, tightness in my hips and pain in my lower back. I noticed i was far more injury prone and I even took longer to heal from injuries while I was on it.

This some of the best-summarized versions of biochemistry that we (basic medical science ie. doctors, dentists, medical science, etc.) have to learn in my country for this particular topic. We just basically remember all the B vitamins as (1-PPP, 2-FAD, 3-NAD, 5-CoA, 6-transaminase, 7-CO2 transporter, 9-nucleotide synt, 12-Cobalt version of heme). Usually, we only got the text with some pictures but not the whole pathway (only the significant one) to study not to mention that every vitamin plays a role in understanding how our body works (you need to understand the basic pathway of metabolism first + heme synthesis). It is a fascinating topic and I admire how you presented it in an easy-understandable way for a topic that is mostly oversimplified to good-bad benefit.

​@Hammadisteachingchemistry like honestly and even that is not enough. As someone who doesn't go out as often as I should for vitamin d uptake I started to go down the rabbit hole of what to do to keep vitamin d up. First I researched foods that I ate that had vitamin d to consume. I saw eggs and got excited thinking to myself I'm good I'm probably getting enough vitamin d from eggs. Come to find out eggs are not enough even if u eat alot of it. Then I start thinking supplemention it is. So I started to look into vitamin d only to find out vitamin d goes together with vitamin k2. So I plan to get both. Only to find out magnesium activates vitamin d. So i plan to get magnesium too. You'd think the simple solution would be to get sunshine right. But since I'm chocolate skinned I'd have to double or triple the amount of exposure most marshmallows go through. And I don't want to crack

As an undergraduate biologist I can say that Vitamin B7 is actually useful for detection experimental procedures in biology, since it forms complexes with avidin and maybe for that reason it should have been higher on the list (maybe D tier). But sulfur does suck and it does stink indeed. Anyway, I love how far your channel has come and the quality of your content has improved dramatically. Your videos are always extensively detailed and I thoroughly enjoy them. Even though I chose biology as my major, I do love chemistry and your videos remind me of how fun chemistry is while also enhancing my current knowledge.

Thank you for your kind words :)

I've been needing this my entire life.

I've been dealing with nutrition in a macro sense for many years, and until today I had no idea Vitamin B12 was a Cobalt complex.

As a doctor i cant agree with you on the tier list chemistry >Biology 😂❤ The information given is super crisp , valuable and presentation is on " S tier" 🙏

more about the carotenoids please and their ability to stimulate collagen growth in the skin along with protect from UV damage and what not please.

[@manniemintea9098]

Thank you! I love Bio and chem and everything in between, Definitely going to watch again!

I would really appreciate the video on Vit A, specifically accutane. As I think about starting a course but I'm terrified of nose bleeds more than anything else.

I am watching this high and my mind is blown lol i never knew vitamins could be so cool

"Fat soluble vitamins are less likely to cause deficiency" me having a severe vitamin D deficiency last year and having to take a lot daily because I'm allergic to sunlight ☺

It’s so weird… we’re so averse to managing farms that are biodiverse that we’d rather go through all of that genetic modification to rice instead of just farming a second plant.

This video is so well made. Even though I am a finance student and have no relation with chemistry, here I am watching a 45 minute video 😀

[@That_Chemist]

Glad to hear it :)

I wish I had waltzed upon this video before submitting my multi-vitamins literature review! Trying to academically put that there is no standardised, regulated definition was a task and a half. This video definitely cemented how much I enjoy biochemistry, but the stress of studying higher-level chem past the required foundational level has me hesitating on it. It also means I need to study a level 200 chem unit before I reach the level 300 biochem units, so I at least have a year and a half, two years max before then if I want to get serious about it. Thanks again to you and your wonderful team! My brain has been most satisfied! :)

Hrngh. These biologists, misnomering chemicals ánd these nutritionists claiming that food is good or bad. Did you see how the egg went from being healthy to being unhealthy to being healthy again to being unhealthy to being healthy now in a span of 40 years? Crazy stuff.

[@That_Chemist]

imo it's because most people don't understand the complexity of biology - hopefully they will after some more of these biochem videos 😎

Am i just imagining stuff or eggs have been healthy for like all my life probably like the definition of one of the healthiest foods

My first job with a biology degree was a conjugation chemist and sulfur earned a special place in my heart

[@That_Chemist]

DACs gotta conjugate

This video is a perfect balance between comedy and informative content. All shown in an easy to understand way.

When someone offered me "vitamin K" at a frat party, I knew better and refused. Thanks TC!

[@Petem7668]

Haha

[@bitterlemonboy]

vitamin k deficiency is no joke.
