Did you know you can do everything right and still have a vitamin deficiency? That’s right: You can eat a well-balanced diet and still not get enough for your body’s needs. Even taking a general multivitamin might not address significant deficiencies. I know what you might be thinking; how do I know if I have one?<\/p>\n

Your body tells you. Vitamin deficiencies often come with specific physical symptoms that you can trace back to a lack of certain nutrients. Knowing the symptoms of vitamin deficiencies is important so you can spot them if they crop up and adjust your lifestyle accordingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s what your body is trying to tell you about vitamin deficiencies.<\/p>\n

What is a vitamin deficiency?<\/h2>\n

Vitamin deficiencies are exactly as the name implies: Your body operates without enough of a particular nutrient. They are incredibly common; it’s estimated that 2 billion people worldwide<\/a> have a vitamin deficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vitamin deficiencies<\/a> are divided into two categories — primary and secondary deficiencies. A primary vitamin deficiency means that you need to take in more of the foods the vitamin contains. In this case, you can often tailor your diet to ensure you address these needs. Or take a supplement if you have dietary limitations that keep you from eating these foods, which is the case with food allergies<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Secondary deficiencies occur when your body isn’t absorbing nutrients<\/a> as it should. This can happen because of an underlying condition such as celiac disease<\/a> or cystic fibrosis<\/a>. Additionally, secondary deficiency results from our bodies absorbing fewer nutrients as we age<\/a>. Then the malabsorption can compound and cause other deficiencies, like in the case of calcium and vitamin D<\/a>. Older adults whose body has stopped making vitamin D can develop a calcium deficiency because vitamin D is crucial for the absorption<\/a> of calcium.<\/p>\n

Common signs you may have a vitamin deficiency<\/h2>\n

Vitamin deficiencies are common. However, they don’t always present with symptoms you may associate with a vitamin deficiency. Here are the common signs of vitamin deficiencies that you may be ignoring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

  1. Fatigue<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/h3>\n

    One of the most prevalent vitamin deficiency symptoms is fatigue<\/a> or feeling weak and tired<\/a>. Many things can cause this, which makes it difficult to separate symptoms that stem from something else, like sleep deprivation<\/span><\/a><\/span>. Chronic fatigue that doesn’t go away no matter how much you sleep or rest may indicate a vitamin deficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
