Vitamin Discovery Aid to Scientists
Dr Walter H Eddy of Columbia University reports isolating a crystalline substance believed to be bios, a potential vitamin D precursor. He produced four specimens at Bellevue Hospital Medical College and noted 70 milligrams from moist autolyzed yeast, with composition about 43 percent carbon 25 percent nitrogen and 8 percent hydrogen. The work ties to Funk and Williams discussions on vitamin B and the yeast growth factor later named vitamin D, with ongoing experiments at Columbia to confirm remaining composition.
