Vitamins

Marine biomaterials are rich sources of various vitamins essential for human health. Vitamins are organic compounds required in small quantities for the proper functioning of an organism's metabolism. Unlike other biomolecules, vitamins cannot be synthesized in adequate amounts by the body and must be obtained from the diet. They play crucial roles in various physiological functions, including immune response, energy production, and cellular repair.

Marine Sources

• Algae. Certain algae are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin A (as beta-carotene), vitamin D, and various B vitamins. Spirulina and chlorella are well-known supplements that provide a wide range of vitamins.
• Fish. Oily fish like salmon and mackerel are direct sources of vitamin D and vitamin A. They also contain essential fatty acids, which are vital for health.
• Shellfish. Shellfish are significant sources of B vitamins (such as B12) that are crucial for energy metabolism and the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Types

• Vitamin A. Vitamin A is commonly found in fish liver oils and certain species of fish. It's vital for vision, immune function, and skin health.
• B Vitamins. B Vitamins often found in marine algae and fish. They include B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cobalamin), which are essential for energy metabolism and neurological function.
• Vitamin C. Certain species of marine algae can be sources of vitamin C, which is important for collagen synthesis and immune function.
• Vitamin D. Marine sources like fish liver oils and fatty fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel) are rich in vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and calcium absorption.
• Vitamin E. Vitamin E is found in various marine oils, it acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage.
• Vitamin K. Some seaweeds and marine-derived bacteria are known to contain vitamin K, which is important for blood clotting and bone health.
