Falling under the Health category and specifically within Nutrition and Weight Loss subcategory, this course covers an impressive array of topics. It is an exceptional resource for students, professionals, and health enthusiasts alike, striving to grasp the nuances of both macronutrients and micronutrients.

Right from a quick review of all 13 essential vitamins to detailed discussions on the distinctions between macronutrients and micronutrients, this course lays a solid foundation in dietary science. Participants embark on an educational journey that demystifies the differences between vitamins and minerals, granting them a more robust comprehension of dietetics.

Diving deeper into biochemistry, the module on coenzymes vs cofactors elucidates their pivotal roles in human nutrition. Through clear and engaging content, learners gain insights into how each element contributes to vital bodily functions.

The course segments dedicated to individual vitamins provide in-depth knowledge, starting with Vitamin A (Retinoids) which covers all necessary aspects. Next, you move onto the nuances of Vitamin D, including a comparison between Vitamin D2 and D3 and the effects of deficiency. This pattern continues with topics like Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Vitamin K and their respective sources, deficiency symptoms, and treatments.

Special attention is given to Vitamin C, exploring its role in preventing scurvy and other deficiency-related conditions. The B Vitamins are meticulously covered as well, detailing their significance in diet and nutrition. For instance, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) encompasses everything from dietary sources to conditions like Beriberi and Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.

Other B vitamins such as Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Niacin (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), Biotin (Vitamin B7), Folate (Vitamin B9), and Cobalamin (Vitamin B12) are equally detailed, providing a well-rounded education on their biochemical roles and dietary importance.

Further extending the scope, the course integrates content on crucial minerals that the body requires, such as Zinc, Magnesium, Copper, and more. This not only broadens the understanding of dietary needs but also touches on their specific health benefits, like how Selenium supports heart health and Chromium's potential advantages for diabetics.
