In the early 20th century, researchers George Whipple and George Minot observed that consuming raw liver led to improvements in pernicious anemia. This led to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1934 for their work. In the 1940s, chemists isolated the active component responsible for treating pernicious anemia, a..." current Tag: Visual edit

In the 1920s, researchers found that consuming large amounts of raw egg whites led to a condition called "egg white injury" in animals, characterized by hair loss and dermatitis. This condition was later attributed to a substance in egg whites that interfered with the absorption of a B-vitamin, which was identified as biotin. In 1936, Hungarian scientist Paul Gyorgy (the same researcher..." current Tag: Visual edit

The discovery of pantothenic acid can be traced back to the early 20th century. The term "vitamin" was coined in 1912 by Polish biochemist Casimir Funk, and the concept of essential nutrients gained prominence. The B vitamins were later identified as a group of distinct but interrelated compounds crucial for various b..." current Tag: Visual edit
