And, as we all know, Mom knows best. She was certainly right about eating our veggies, which are tremendous sources of vitamins and minerals, which our bodies require to function optimally. Although we may eat well, exercise, and live a healthy lifestyle, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can still occur because of stress, age, or other outside factors. ## What Are Vitamins and Minerals? Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients, or substances our bodies need in small amounts. Nearly all vitamins come from the foods we eat. Vitamins, which are essential for good health, come primarily from plants and secondarily from some animal products. Minerals, on the other hand, are produced by soil, water, or even rocks. We get them from plants or from an animal that’s eaten a plant containing the minerals we need. Vitamins fall into two categories: - Water soluble (B vitamins including B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, B-7, B-9, and B-12 and vitamin C) - Fat soluble (A, D, E, and K) Our bodies expel water soluble vitamins that aren’t used, but fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissue. Minerals fall into two categories, as well: - Major - Trace Neither is more important than the other, but our bodies need greater quantities of major minerals than trace minerals. ## Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies An astounding [thirty-one percent of Americans are deficient](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5537775/) in one or more vitamins and minerals. Sometimes those deficiencies appear as symptoms of illness or disease, but they can be rectified through appropriate supplementation. ## Symptoms of Specific Vitamin Deficiencies There are too many symptoms of vitamin deficiency to list individually, but here are some examples: - Vitamin A: Vitamin A is crucial for eye health. Deficiency can lead to [blindness](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3090484/), or can appear as dry eyes, skin problems, and hair loss. - Vitamin D: There is an epidemic of [vitamin D deficiency globally](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7309365/). Vitamin D is critical for bone, heart, immune, and mental health. Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are bone pain, fatigue, muscle cramps or weakness, mood changes or depression. - Vitamin E: Deficiency can appear as tremors, numbness, [vision impairment](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7796601/), or decreased immune function. - Vitamin K: Sufferers of low vitamin K may experience uncontrollable bleeding and problems with bone density. - B vitamins: Symptoms of deficiency for each of the eight B vitamins are different and some of them are rare in the U.S. Deficiency of vitamin B12 is most common, and that can appear as feeling very tired, gastrointestinal symptoms, confusion, numbness and tingling in hands and feet, poor memory. - Vitamin C: vitamin C deficiency may appear as bleeding gums, tooth loss, wounds that heal slowly, easy bruising. ## Symptoms of Mineral Deficiencies Mineral deficiencies can appear in many different ways, too. Symptoms include: - Magnesium: [Depression](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25827510/), anxiety, high blood pressure, and muscle cramps and twitches are all signs of possible magnesium deficiency. - Potassium: [irregular heartbeat](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8989702/), frequent urination, fatigue, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness. - Zinc: loss of appetite, loss of taste or smell, decrease immune function, diarrhea, hair loss. ## Rojo Best IV Therapy Mobile  So many symptoms of vitamin deficiency appear as illness.
