Deficiency disease
Food Source
Notes
Thiamin TPP
decarboxylation
Alchholism conversion in liver and
increase urine
Bone health ribose formation
Beri Beri (dry, wet and
cerebral)
Pork and
wheat germs
conversion in liver
Riboflavin FMN FAD
energy metabolism
synthesise PLP
Antioxidant (Glutathione reductase
require FAD to work to form glutathione
It keeps Glutathione in reduced state
and is part of enzymatic system as
GPX )
Formation of niacin from tryptophan
requires FAD
Ariboflavinosis;
Glossitus Angular
Stomatitus
milk
UV breaks down
riboflavin
can cause bright coloured
urine in excess
Niacin NAD NADP
can be synthesise in body if needed
(trypthphan and FAD)
Pellagra; Dermatitis;

Pentothenic acid CoA
building blocks of cholesterol, fatty
acids, bile
Fatigue, muscle
weakness
Beef liver and
sunflower
seed
deficiency is rare, found
everywhere
Pyrodixine PLP
Neurotransmitter synthesis
Haem formation requires FMN; requires
in AA metabolism (transamination and
synthesis of non-EAA
Involve in synthesis of Niacin from
tryptophan
Microcytic
Hypochromic anaemia
Salmon and
Potato with
skin
Found in food as PLP but
absorb as B6; conversion
is in liver; bound to
albumin for circulation
