MICRONUTRIENTS UNLOCKED:The Science of Turning Vitamins into Health Solutions

Why do vitamin-related health challenges persist despite decades of research and supplementation? Micronutrients Unlocked offers a compelling answer by moving beyond the basics of nutrition to explore the deeper science, systems, and applications of vitamins in human health, food technology, and public policy.
Written by P. Norchai, PhD, this evidence-based guide delves into the complex journey of vitamins—from soil to shelf to bloodstream—and reveals how molecular structure, genetic differences, formulation techniques, and lifestyle factors shape their impact on health. Designed for advanced students, healthcare professionals, food scientists, and supplement developers, the book explains critical concepts such as bioavailability, bioefficacy, nutrient synergy, absorption barriers, and delivery innovations in a structured, interdisciplinary format.
Inside, readers will find:- A systems-based look at how vitamins function in metabolism, immunity, cognition, and chronic disease prevention- Insight into technological advancements, including liposomal encapsulation and time-release formulations- An exploration of regulatory frameworks and labeling practices across global markets- Case studies and biomarker analysis linking science with real-world outcomes- Guidance on separating evidence from hype in an oversaturated supplement landscape
Whether you work in nutrition, healthcare, policy, or product development—or simply want to understand how vitamins truly work—this book equips you to think critically, communicate responsibly, and unlock the full potential of micronutrient science in the modern world.
