Vitamins are nutrients that are normally found in food. In theory, eating a balanced diet gives you all the nutrients you need.

Symptoms This can lead to various deficiencies of chemicals in our bodies, which can, in turn, cause other problems such as organ malfunctions, anemia, failure to build or maintain strong bones, and a variety of others depending on which factors are missing. When the missing nutrients are vitamins, we are said to suffer from a vitamin deficiency.

There are a variety of opinions about how many vitamins we need, and how much we need to supplement our normal diets. Since most vitamins are relatively harmless, it would seem that taking a good multivitamin every day with a meal, could be helpful while, at the same time, causing no harm. Your physician may advise you to take individual supplements to treat specific conditions.

Deficiency means that you don't have enough of something. A vitamin deficiency means your body doesn't have enough of one or more vitamins that it needs to survive.

For example, you might have cracking at the corners of your mouth. This can be a sign of iron, zinc, and B-vitamin (niacin, riboflavin, and B12) deficiency, or that you’re not getting enough protein. Good dietary sources of these nutrients include organic free-range poultry and eggs, wild-caught Alaskan salmon, oysters, and clams (if you can be sure they are harvested from non-polluted waters), Swiss chard, and tahini.

Because iron absorption is enhanced by vitamin C, be sure your diet also includes plenty of vitamin C-rich veggies like broccoli, red bell peppers, kale, and cauliflower.Another symptom of vitamin deficiency might be a red, scaly rash (especially on your face). This can be a sign of biotin (vitamin B7) deficiency. Your body needs biotin for metabolizing fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids, but it’s most well-known for its role in strengthening your hair and nails. Egg yolks from organic, free-range eggs are one of the best sources of biotin.
