Types of Vitamins:
Fat-Soluble Vitamins:
(i) Vitamin A - comes from orange colored fruits and vegetables; dark leafy greens, like kale
(ii) Vitamin D - can be found in fortified milk and dairy products; cereals; (and of course, sunshine!)
(iii) Vitamin E - is found in fortified cereals; leafy green vegetables; seeds; nuts
(iv)Vitamin K - can be found in dark green leafy vegetables; turnip/beet greens
Water-Soluble Vitamins:
(i) Vitamin B1, or Thiamin - come from whole grains; enriched grains; liver; nuts; seeds
(ii) Vitamin B2, or Riboflavin - comes from whole grains; enriched grains; dairy products
(iii) Vitamin B3, or Niacin - comes from meat; fish; poultry; whole grains
(iv) Vitamin B5, or Pantothenic Acid - comes from meat; poultry; whole grains
(v)Vitamin B6, or Pyridoxine - comes from fortified cereals; soy products
(vi) Vitamin B7, or Biotin - is found in fruits; meats
(vii) Vitamin B9, or Folic Acid (Folate) - comes from leafy vegetables
(viii) Vitamin B12 - comes from fish; poultry; meat; dairy products
(ix) Vitamin C - comes from citrus fruits and juices, such as oranges and grapefruits; red, yellow, and green peppers
A basic classification for minerals is:
- Native elements. eg. Gold, Silver, Mercury, graphite, diamond.
- Oxides. eg corundum (incl. sapphire), hematite, spinel.
- Hydroxides. eg. Goethite, brucite.
- Sulfides. eg. Pyrite, galena, sphalerite.
- Sulfates. eg. Baryte, gypsum.
- Carbonates. eg. Calcite, magnesite, dolomite.
- Phosphates. eg. Apatite, monazite.
- Halides. eg. Fluorite, halite (rock salt).
- Silicates (most common)
- Orthosilicates. eg. Garnet, olivine.
- Ring silicates. eg. Tourmaline, beryl.
- Chain silicates. eg. Pyroxenes, amphiboles.
- Sheet silicates. eg. Muscovite mica, biotite mica, clay minerals
- Framework silicates. eg. Quartz, feldspars, zeolites
