Description
For this activity, you are going to choose one fat-soluble vitamin, one water-soluble vitamin, and one mineral out of those listed below to research further. You will look up information on its roles in the body, food sources, deficiencies, toxicities, and any additional pertinent information. There are different fact sheets for consumers and health professionals, and you can use either for this activity-the health professional fact sheets are more detailed and technical, so you may find it beneficial to take a look at both to see the differences.
