Jessica's Vitamin Infommercial


Health Infomercial
By Jessica

Advertiser: Have you ever been in this situation? (Flash to lady)

Lady: Oh, dang! My vitamins didn’t absorb properly!

Advertiser: That’s because you don’t know the difference between fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins. Yes! There is a difference! Let’s talk to our scientist Dr. Guerinot

Scientist: Water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C, and B, need to be taken daily because they leave the body everyday in your…(points to cup of lemonade) urine. No, I’m just kidding! This is lemonade (takes a huge gulp) Never mind, this was a sample.  (Shows wiping tongue and lips) The small intestine is where vitamin absorption happens.

Advertiser: What happens is we put a piece of food in our mouth, saliva drenches it, then we start breaking down the food. I’m getting a message. Our scientist would like to tell the rest of what happens.

Scientist: Next, the nutrients move form the intestine to the rectum, and then from the buttocks region.  Fat-soluble vitamins however, like A, D, E, K need to dissolve in fat before they can make it into the body. When bile does it’s job and breaks down the fat, vitamins can FINALLY dissolve into the body! Fat-soluble vitamins don’t actually require daily consumption.

Advertiser: Now we’re going to welcome pop sensation Jessie and the Best to end on a better note! (Jessica and Emily dance party)
