Background information(4 points for the 3rdand 4thitems, 2 points for the rest):

Introduce yourself and your nutrient.

Vitamins:Show a picture of the chemical structure of your vitamin.

Minerals:Show the periodic table of elements and show us where your mineral is found.

Vitamins:Vitamins are known by multiple names and sometimes also numbers (for the B vitamins). If

this is the case with your vitamin tell us all of its names and what, if anything, they mean. Minerals:Minerals are the atomic elements found on Earth. Give the atomic symbol for your element (e.g. hydrogen = H, helium = He).

Talk about the role(s) of your nutrient in health. Vitamins:Is your vitamin a coenzyme in biochemical reactions? Minerals:Is your mineral a cofactor to enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Show the recommended intake needs for males and females for your nutrient. Are the current best DRIs for your nutrient RDAs or AIs? Make sure the units (g/mg/g) are correct. Do the needs for your nutrient change with age? What are the ULs for adult males and females for the nutrient (if known)? Don't google for this infoactually use the link below to the DRI tables from the government. There are a lot of age groups, don't list them all! Even one age group for adults is enough to put on your slide.

What are a few of the common food sources of your nutrient?

What is the deficiency syndrome (if any) associated with your nutrient and how is it identified?

(pictures can be useful here)

Is there a toxicity syndrome or toxic side effects associated with high intakes of your nutrient?

(describe them also)

Please include one slide at the very end to list the resources you used to gather your information. I recommend that you get the majority of your background information from reputable sources such as your textbook, the lecture slides for our class, and these websites:
