Nutritional requirements are often slightly different for young children, adolescents, and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are concerned about your vitamin intake.

Every bodily function, from digestion to growth, to muscle movement, to memories, requires the right vitamins to function properly. Different vitamins provide different benefits, but together a diet rich in appropriate vitamins and minerals keeps you strong, energetic, and healthy.

Vitamin Deficiencies

Not getting enough vitamins can create a wide range of health problems, including:

• Lethargy and fatigue
• Dry skin
• Poor eyesight
• Higher cholesterol levels
• Raised blood pressure
• Slow wound healing
• Sore gums
• Increased cancer and heart disease risks
• Asthma
• Diabetes
• Infertility

The best sources of vitamins are fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, dairy, and other wholesome foods. Unfortunately, heavily processed foods such as those that come in boxes and bags on store shelves or in the freezer section often lack essential vitamins because the chemicals required to process and preserve the foods strips them of their healthiest nutrients. Because of this, many people may be vitamin deficient without realizing it.
