In this episode of our Patient Education Series, Emma Van Den Driest explores the fundamentals of vitamins — the essential nutrients your body needs. You’ll learn the difference between water-soluble vitamins (like vitamin C and the B vitamin family) and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), and how each plays a unique role in supporting your health. Emma covers the benefits of these nutrients, their best food sources, and how much your body typically needs. You’ll also discover common factors that contribute to vitamin deficiencies, why some people require activated forms of B vitamins for optimal use, and who may benefit from a comprehensive multivitamin supplement. By the end, you’ll have the knowledge to make informed choices about your diet and supplementation — and a newfound appreciation for these small but mighty nutrients.
