Episode Synopsis

🍐 In this episode of PodBites, Sarah Haque and Shaimaa Jamiel take you on a flight through all the vitamins!
🎙️ Tune in to explore:


Fat-soluble vs water-soluble vitamins and why the difference matters clinically


Vitamin A: vision, epithelial integrity, immunity, and toxicity


The B-complex (B1–B12) as metabolic coenzymes and classic deficiency syndromes


Vitamin C and collagen: scurvy, bleeding, and wound healing


Vitamin D as a hormone: calcium homeostasis, rickets, and osteomalacia


Vitamin E and free-radical protection


Vitamin K and coagulation, newborn deficiency, and bone health


🌟 A structured, exam-ready guide that turns vitamin deficiencies into predictable system failures — with fun mnemonics to keep everything memorizable ✨
If you want it even more exam-heavy, shorter for Instagram, or with enzymes emphasized, just say the word ✈️🍐
