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

When the missing nutrients are vitamins, we are said to suffer from a vitamin deficiency.

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.
