2.0 Role in Human Biology Across the Lifespan [200 words] • Discuss the nutrients’ function across the human lifespan.
As there are different types of nutrients and they have their own individual structures. Vitamins are compounds generally gained from food sources as well as from the………. Vitamin A and C antioxidants are the key nutrients ingredients of the skin. There are several key nutrients used for skin care however these two Vitamins are the main essential nutrients because they help the skin health to function properly. The main form of Vitamin A is retinol also known as retinoic acid and retinal and it is a fat-soluble vitamin mainly stored in the liver (Albahrani & Greaves, 2016). Vitamin A is also an essential nutrient because it cannot be produced by human body which means that it can be taken from food sources or supplements (Tanumihardjo, et al, 2016).
Vitamin C is an antioxidant………
The biological function of micronutrients is to promote immune system maintain the skin healthy….. The key roles of nutrients are to maintain the skin healthy as well as overall skin health. Each nutrient required for the body has their own functions to maintain the body healthy for example; Vitamin A is believed to repair the skin and Vitamin C helps in formation of collagen and elastin and protect antioxidant…… (Pullar, et al, 2017).

3.0 Nutrient Reference Value (NRVs) [150 words] (Please check nrv.gov.au) for this question
• List the Recommended Dietary Intakes (RDI) and Upper Limits (UL) for adult males and females. (RDI is Australian Dietary intake)
• Discuss why NRV requirements differ across the lifespan, and provide examples.

4.0 Toxicity [150 words] • List the signs and symptoms of toxicity.
• Discuss the causes of toxicity.
The influences of excessive use of nutrients may cause toxicity to skin. For example, when consuming excessive amount of vitamin, A may weaken the bones and may also contribute to bone fractures and osteoporosis which….. (Whitney, Rolfes, Crowe, Cameron-Smith, Walsh, 2014, p. 390). They might develop eye problems liver toxicity.
With the excessive use of Vitamin C………

6.0 Dietary Sources [80 words] • List key dietary sources.
Vitamin C in food source include orange, asparagus, ………This Vitamin also could be completed from supplements…… The dietary source of Vitamin A is……

7.0 Evidence-based Uses in (Your Chosen Field of Study) [200 words] (Aesthetic)
• Relating to your chosen nutrients, review current research to identify and discuss evidence based nutritional requirements for optimal health and disease prevention in your chosen field.
• Identify gaps in the research.

Conclusion
Micronutrients have different structures……and they are essential for the body and skin health as they help the body to function properly. There are health risks when consuming excessive amount of these nutrients. There are also risks and causes with nutrients deficiency.
