The Indigo® fat soluble vitamins molecular model kit can build all 4 chemical structure models of vitamins A, D, E & K, simultaneously. These fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K are essential micronutrients which are important in human metabolism. They are absorbed along with dietary fats for storage in the liver and adipose tissues & released when dietary intake is insufficient.

Adequate intake of these vitamins is vital for maintaining metabolic functions and overall health. Deficiencies can lead to conditions such as night blindness (Vitamin A deficiency), rickets or osteomalacia (Vitamin D deficiency), neurological issues (Vitamin E deficiency), and bleeding disorders (Vitamin K deficiency). Conversely, excessive intake, particularly through supplementation, can result in toxicity due to their storage in body tissues. Therefore, a balanced diet rich in diverse nutrients is essential to ensure optimal levels of fat-soluble vitamins.

Indigo Instruments has held inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (See Skeletal (Orbit/Minit)) that are compatible with every molecular model we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.

Details

This kit can build all 4 of the essential fat soluble vitamins: A-retinol/retinoic acid; D-calciferol; E-tocolpherol; K-phytonadione; as shown below. You can also build them, along with other biomolecules, with our Class Biochemistry Set. Use our free on-line 3D Molecular Model Builder tool in "Orbit-X-peg" style to view these vitamin structures.

Our advanced student organic chemistry set & class organic chemistry set can both build these vitamin chemical structure models but may need extra parts. Use the 3D Molecular Model Builder to show you how the same molecular formulas would look in "Orbit flexible" style.
