Our bodies are designed to work for the best of us given that we provide with all the necessary components they need. Maintaining good vitamin levels, will ensure we stay healthy and energized; it is important that we avoid vitamin deficiency; low levels of vitamins will start producing signs and symptoms and if there is a severe deficiency we can experience serious diseases.





We can experience vitamin deficiency with practically all types of vitamins. The people who are at more risk at developing vitamin deficiencies are those who don't have a proper nutrition, since we get most out vitamins thanks to food sources. An exception to this would be vitamin D, which we get mostly thanks to the rays of the sun. In that case, the people who don't have too much sun exposure will have a vitamin deficiency.





The signs and symptoms of a vitamin deficiency will vary according to each one. For example, a deficiency in vitamin A will produce fatigue, acne, certain skin problems, night blindness, and eyesight problems; while a vitamin E deficiency symptoms will include impotency, poor wound healing, and enlarged prostate gland, and gastrointestinal disease among others.
