Vitamin A contributes to normal iron metabolism, and riboflavin contributes to the normal metabolism of iron. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. Vitamins B6 and B12, along with folate and choline, contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism. Choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism. Molybdenum contributes to normal sulphur amino acid metabolism, and pantothenic acid contributes to normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters.
