Fun fact about Vit K - it is given routinely to babies right after they are born (usually via IM injection or occasionally oral supplementation) because they are naturally low in it and don't yet have the gut bacteria that produce it which as explained in the video can affect blood clotting. It reduces the rate of intracranial haemorrhage which can cause brain damage - particularly important for babies who have had more traumatic births (i.e. vacuum or forceps assisted births).

Hands down the best chemistry content on youtube. I really like that you touch on adjacent topics like psychopharmacology as well. Thanks for all your hard work!
This some of the best-summarized versions of biochemistry that we (basic medical science ie. doctors, dentists, medical science, etc.) have to learn in my country for this particular topic. We just basically remember all the B vitamins as (1-PPP, 2-FAD, 3-NAD, 5-CoA, 6-transaminase, 7-CO2 transporter, 9-nucleotide synt, 12-Cobalt version of heme). Usually, we only got the text with some pictures but not the whole pathway (only the significant one) to study not to mention that every vitamin plays a role in understanding how our body works (you need to understand the basic pathway of metabolism first + heme synthesis). It is a fascinating topic and I admire how you presented it in an easy-understandable way for a topic that is mostly oversimplified to good-bad benefit.

So apart from citrus fruits, peppers (as in paprika) should be good too.

Regarding finding local edible plants with needed vitamins... I would assume that in most places humans have lived for an appreciable length of time, people have pretty much figured out what plants are edible pretty effectively. Finding an edible plant that's also palatable and cultivatable and fills a gap in human needs in an area, that nobody knows about should be exceedingly rare.
I've been dealing with nutrition in a macro sense for many years, and until today I had no idea Vitamin B12 was a Cobalt complex.
Please please please please make a detailed video on Acutane! I've read countless articles and research about how to works on a cellular level and I still can not connect all the pieces, however from what i did understand the drug is genuinely miraculous! I just got off two cycles and the symptoms were extremely wacky but I was left with perfectly clear skin at the end and my acne has not returned since. I had extreme dryness in my eyes, lips, skin, hair as well as joint pain in my knees and hips, tightness in my hips and pain in my lower back. I noticed i was far more injury prone and I even took longer to heal from injuries while I was on it. Really hope you take this suggestion into consideration as I think its near impossible detailed information on the drug even though its so widely used and talked about amongst teenagers struggling with acne. Love the videos and thank you so much!
I like how you've updated your visual presentation! Your slides are colorful and fun to look at.
One cool thing about biotin is its interaction with avidin. More specifically, the binding affinity of avidin to biotin is among the strongest non-covalent bonds. It's pretty much non-reversible without denaturing the avidin.
Vitamin K2 supplementation has been found to be effective in preventing osteoporosis and some heart problems.
This is amazing. Would love to see more biochemistry content here!
Niacin was originally called nicotinic acid because it can be created by the oxidation of nicotine with nitric acid. However, people knew nicotine as the addictive chemical in tobacco, so the name niacin was used instead. Niacin comes from the words NIcotinic ACid vitamIN.

I did 100mg daily for a few months from 2 different brands and didn't achieve that orange result. My eyesight improved along with taking Sulbutiamine and Astaxanthin from negative 1.25 to 0.75 (fR sighted) along with (convuluted with rather) eye exercises daily. Over the course of 1 year, going to try and add NMN to get back to not needing to wear contact lenses. Also added bacopa and lions mane extract to the mix, 2 grams and 5-10 grams respectively. (Also increased potassium (Kiwi, greens) and magnesium glycibate due to sulbutiamine utilizing more uptake).
Wow this is awesome! So much chemistry:) I would love you to slightly extend the informative flash graphics so it's easier to pause on them to examine them in more detail.

I like your channel, good blend of humor sprinkled into very digestible information.
I like how you describe everything in such details it helps me understand and remember it way better, is there an Accutane video also?
As someone in a biochem program, your stock exchange analogy actually confused me for a brief moment lol. I had to use my knowledge of coenzymes to understand the analogy rather than the other way around. This was a fun video. More bio stuff please!

Your channel is amazing. Even for amateur viewers who will probably never be in a lab (like myself), it's still just so interesting to learn about this stuff.

wow I just love watching such long, in depth videos and finishing the video- forgetting every last detail learned
I have Coeliac disease, this video is really interesting!! It helps to explain why I need to get a B1 infusion. I’ve also struggled with iron(I had borderline anaemia), vitamin D etc due to my intestines being unable to absorb the vitamins after being destroyed from eating gluten.
Based on what you said about B12 maybe this changed, but folic acid was usually recommended to pregnant women in part to help prevent neural tube defects.

Its both, folic acid has been known for a while, but "recently" b12 was also shown to independently reduce the risk. Nature Reviews Endocrinology volume 5, page 354 (2009)
Adding one thing, Umetaro Suzuki was working on vitamins but originally term "vita-aminy" was created by Casimir Funk in 1912 who created concept of vitamins

And then Funk was credited with the discovery of B1...despite likely discovering B2.
Learnt more about biochemistry in 2:04 minutes then I have for the past 5 years. You sir deserve wayyy more subscribers so to help with that you just gained mine :)
This is amazing. It's all I've ever wanted. Thank you.
Even though I don't understand half of this stuff I do generally get the idea. I just love these kinds of videos because I get to appreciate how beautifully complex nature is.

What an awesome overview! Gonna watch it right over again
This is so f-ing nerdy I love it Thanks for the awesome video!
B12 is so cool, it’s also an antidote for cyanide poisoning!
As an undergraduate biologist I can say that Vitamin B7 is actually useful for detection experimental procedures in biology, since it forms complexes with avidin and maybe for that reason it should have been higher on the list (maybe D tier). But sulfur does suck and it does stink indeed. Anyway, I love how far your channel has come and the quality of your content has improved dramatically. Your videos are always extensively detailed and I thoroughly enjoy them. Even though I chose biology as my major, I do love chemistry and your videos remind me of how fun chemistry is while also enhancing my current knowledge.

I've been needing this my entire life.
This is my favourite type of videos: chemistry in biomedical context
I read an entire book on Vitamin K2 and the surrounding studies. Something about it as a coenzyme for proteins that transport calcium from and to tissues in the body, apparently really important in preventing atherosclerosis and reshaping bone during pregnancy and childhood growth. Book is called Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox. They also cover some interactions between all the fat soluble vitamins. I'd love to see you tackle the chemistry behind these studies. Thanks for all you're doing here. 🤜🤛
A year out from my BS in biochem , and I'm glad you brought up how yellow flavins are! Was the first quality my professor mentioned in intermediary metabolism and I was thinking, "wonder if E&F knows". Thank you for the great content!

Biotin/B7 is S tier! Not because of sulf*r, but because Shiny! I use B7 as brightener in my "buy it at the pharmacy" shiny copper plating bath formula. Vitamin C is S tier because it's the reducing agent of choice for my electroless/chemical Silver bath. Niacin seems interesting for silver too but I haven't played around with it yet.
i dont actively watch your videos because i dont have to do a lot with chemistry, but this video was really enjoyable. was the quality of your videos always that good? i remember it a bit different (not meant to be insulting).
i really like new style, keep up the good work man

"Fat soluble vitamins are less likely to cause deficiency" me having a severe vitamin D deficiency last year and having to take a lot daily because I'm allergic to sunlight ☺
As soon as I read the words "vitamin lore" I knew this was gonna be good, maybe I would've actually chosen that biology course if it was taught like this
nice video bro. Helped so much
This video is a perfect balance between comedy and informative content. All shown in an easy to understand way.
Riboflavin has given me quite a scare because if you consume an excess it come out in your urine and Riboflavin is astrobright yellow. (I don't think it's underrated in the tier list). I think he was entirely too clever with vitamin C and think he may have been influenced to put it into C tier because it was Vitamin C. It obviously is S tier given its important role in history.

Vit c is tasty, should be up top on that alone.
Recommendation: Tier list of amino acids / supplements, like: Citicoline, GDP, NAND, NAN+, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine etc..
You're really good at explaining!
This is so complicated for a tier list man... I feel like I need to be a biologist to understand. Wish you had simplified to make this more accessible.
i love the new glow-y theme! it helps make my favorite subject even more mesmerizing, thank you!
