Jacob Haskalovichi, Doctor of Medical Sciences and Chief Medical Officer of the Clearing Clinic, noted that vitamins are very important for human health and each vitamin fulfills certain functions.
Deficiency of various vitamins is quite common. This is because people do not consume enough vegetables, fruits, and generally vitamin-rich foods.
Here are some vitamins you may want to research.
-
vitamin A. Deficiency of this vitamin occurs in those who eat small amounts of animal products or colorful vegetables. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy teeth, bones, skin and eyesight. With a vitamin A deficiency, a person may experience vision problems or skin irritation. You can get this vitamin from carrots, sweet potatoes, fish oil.
-
Vitamin B12. Because vitamin B12 is part of many meats, dairy products, and fish, vegans and vegetarians can suffer from a deficiency of this vitamin. Vitamin B12 deficiency causes balance problems, peripheral neuropathy and, in severe cases, memory loss.

Other symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include depression, pain, weakness and fatigue. It is recommended that an adult consume approximately 600 IU (0.015 mg) of this vitamin per day. It is found in yogurt, milk, tuna, egg yolks, fortified cereals, orange juice, raw mushrooms.
