- D — Calcium absorption, bone — Sunlight, oily fish
- E — Antioxidant — Nuts, seeds, oils

- Who is the Vitamins poster for?
- Vitamins belongs to the Body & health section rather than to a school year, because health is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning nutrition can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Vitamins poster?
- Fat-soluble vitamins are stored; water-soluble ones are not. That changes how often you need them. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Vitamins belongs on the wall where that health work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Vitamins?
- Added Sugar, Alcohol Units and Caffeine sit alongside Vitamins in the Body & health section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Added SugarAlcohol UnitsCaffeine
- Is the Vitamins poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Vitamins downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Body & health section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Vitamins poster print at?
- Vitamins is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Vitamins loses nothing.Printing guide
