Search Results - Essential nutrient

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

An essential nutrient is a nutrient required for normal body functioning that either cannot be synthesized by the body at all, or cannot be synthesized in amounts adequate for good health (e.g. niacin, choline), and thus must be obtained from a dietary source. Some categories of essential nutrients include vitamins, dietary minerals, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids.

Different species have very different essential nutrients. For example, most mammals synthesize their own ascorbic acid, and it is therefore not considered an essential nutrient for such species. It is, however, an essential nutrient for human beings, who require external sources of ascorbic acid (known as Vitamin C in the context of nutrition).

Many essential nutrients are toxic in large doses (see hypervitaminosis or the nutrient pages themselves below). Some can be taken in amounts larger than required in a typical diet, with no apparent ill effects. Linus Pauling said of vitamin B3, (either niacin or niacinamide), "What astonished me was the very low toxicity of a substance that has such very great physiological power. A little pinch, 5&_160;mg, every day, is enough to keep a person from dying of pellagra, but it is so lacking in toxicity that ten thousand times as much can [sometimes] be taken without harm."[1]

The body's requirements vary widely. At one extreme a 70&_160;kg human contains 1.0&_160;kg of calcium but only 3&_160;mg of cobalt.

1. Discover why Fish EPA and DHA are Essential to Your Health
November 05, 2009

Did you know in some fish EPA or Eicosapentaenoic acid is an abundant nutrient? In others, but only a few species, DHA or Docosahexaenoic acid is more abundant. The human body needs both. There has been some debate over the years about how much of each of the specific omega-3s were necessary for human health. Currently, the USRDA says that an “acceptable” intake is 1100mg of total omega-3s for women and 1600mg for men. But, a growing body of evidence indicates that higher intakes or ALA, EPA and DHA may provide some protection against heart and cardiovascular disease. The human... (read more)

2. Eat More, Weigh Less
November 05, 2009

Any diet that leaves you feeling hungry will ultimately backfire, you’ll regain what little weight you’ve lost, and more importantly, you will have deprived your body of vital nutrients. Believe it or not, it IS possible to eat enough to feel satisfied, not to mention the fact that you’ll also be doing your body a favor by consuming the essential vitamins and minerals that your body craves. The key here is not only how much you eat, but WHAT you’re eating. What you need to do is fill up on foods with high nutrient density, but low calorie density. Calorie density, also known as energy den... (read more)

3. Multivitamins Will Help You Build Muscle
November 05, 2009

With all the processed foods inundating our supermarkets, it’s almost impossible to get all your nutritional requirements from food alone. Even if you eat nothing but whole foods, you would have to eat a large amount of food to meet all your nutritional requirements due to the inferior soils used today. Your body is a complex machine that conducts millions of functions simultaneously. Each nutrient contributes to thousands of essential reactions that make these functions possible such as B12 for healthy red blood cell production, Iodine for thyroid regulation, and B6 for protein metab...

4. Omega3 Fats: All Fats are NOT Created Equal
October 27, 2009

Are you aware that you need more fat in your diet? You are probably thinking: that statement has to be a misprint. The truth of the matter is that most people here in the United States DO need more fat in their diets. The problem is that we have been taking in too much of the wrong fats and not consuming enough of the healthy fats. Omega3 fats are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are vital to our good health. Our bodies do not produce this important nutrient so we need to get it from the foods we eat. The main source of these essential fats is found in cold-water fish includ... (read more)

6. changing ph levels in a hydroponics system
October 12, 2009

Adjusting pH Levels in a Hydroponics SystemInstructions for adjusting pH levels:pH control is essential for stimulating vigorous plant growth. Nutrient solution pH that is too high (basic) or too low (acidic) cannot be properly absorbed by plants. Incorrect nutrient solution pH can slow growth, and can also lead to sickly plants and low yields. The pH scale measures acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0 to 14. Below seven the pH is acidic. Above seven the pH is alkaline. 7.0 is neutral. The best pH for plant growth is generally in the range of 5.5 to 6.5; which is slightly acidic. There are se... (read more)

8. Why You Need a Fish Oil Vitamin
October 02, 2009

Did you know the fish oil vitamin, as some people call it, is actually a different kind of nutrient, although the definitions are very similar? Vitamins are organic compounds required in tiny amounts by an organism. The compounds cannot be synthesized by the organisms, so they must be obtained from the diet. This definition leaves a lot of gray area that can be downright confusing to the average person. Sometimes, it is easier to just refer to them all as vitamins, but the term is not generally used to refer to essential fatty acids. Although we think of fat as the stuff that ... (read more)
