Question

If an adult consumes meat at every meal and has normal health (no genetic defects), which vitamin-like nutrient is least likely to be deficient in this person under ordinary conditions?

Accepted Answer

Carnitine, because common diets containing regular meat and dairy supply dietary carnitine in addition to normal endogenous synthesis.

Answer

Inositol, because dietary intake is restricted to organ meat only and cannot be obtained from plants.

Answer

Choline, because choline is only available from synthetic supplements and cannot be obtained from meat products.

Answer

Lipoic acid, because it is only synthesized by gut bacteria and cannot be obtained from any animal-source food.
