The macronutrient metabolism vitamins and minerals are:
- Thiamin
- Riboflavin
- Niacin
- Pantothenic Acid
- Vitamin \(B_6\)
- Biotin
- Vitamin \(B_{12}\)
- Vitamin C
- Iodine
- Manganese
- Magnesium
All but three of these will be covered in this section. You will learn about vitamin \(B_{12}\) in the one-carbon metabolism chapter and magnesium in the electrolyte chapter. You have learned about vitamin C in the antioxidant chapter. We are left with iodine, manganese, and many of the B vitamins. You will learn about the 2 minerals followed by the B vitamins in the next sections.
- 10.6: Pantothenic Acid
- Pantothenic acid has two roles in the body: (1) It is part of coenzyme A ( CoA ), this is its major role and (2) it is part of acyl carrier protein
