    Molecule essential for vision, derived from beta carotene, and forms the light receptor protein in rod cells.
  • Beta Carotene
    Terpenoid precursor abundant in carrots, converted into retinol for visual function.
  • Rhodopsin
    Light receptor protein in rod cells, enabling vision by utilizing retinol as a component.
  • Cholesterol
    Steroid precursor molecule required for the synthesis of vitamin D upon exposure to ultraviolet light.
  • Ultraviolet Light
    Radiation from sunlight necessary for activating vitamin D synthesis from cholesterol.
  • Calcium
    Mineral regulated by vitamin D, crucial for bone strength and healthy skeletal structure.
  • Alpha Tocopherol
    Antioxidant form of vitamin E, protects cells from free radicals and reduces cancer risk.
  • Antioxidant
    Compound that neutralizes highly reactive free radicals, preventing cellular damage.
  • Free Radical
    Highly reactive molecule with unpaired electrons, capable of causing cellular damage and cancer.
  • Coagulation
    Process regulated by vitamin K, enabling blood to clot and heal injuries.
  • Kale
    Vegetable rich in vitamin K, supporting blood clotting and injury recovery.
  • Rod Cell
    Specialized eye cell containing rhodopsin, responsible for vision in low light conditions.
  • Phosphorus
    Mineral regulated alongside calcium by vitamin D, important for bone health.
  • Fat Soluble Vitamin
    Class of vitamins including A, D, E, and K, stored in body tissues and requiring dietary intake.
