    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).

    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.

      Beer and wine were literally more drunk than water back in ancient civilizations, not only because it was safer, since it was less likely to get infectious disease from alcoholic beverages than it was to get from contaminated water, but also because those beverages were found to have an effect on reducing the amount of "diseases" (aka deficiencies) that people had.

    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 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).

    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).

    This video definitely cemented how much I enjoy biochemistry, but the stress of studying higher-level chem past the required foundational level has me hesitating on it. It also means I need to study a level 200 chem unit before I reach the level 300 biochem units, so I at least have a year and a half, two years max before then if I want to get serious about it.

      Its definitely not thwarted its still supported by private investment, but it does stand that nutritionally it wasn't better than normal rice it was evaluated twice by the FDA. But new generations of it will likely be introduced eventually and reevaluated. But at the time it was brand new and didn't deliver on promises at least in America. In Asia it was political resistance maybe somewhat anti GMO but more anti western influence.
