See vitamin A

Beta Carotene is an antioxidant and can be converted by the body to vitamin A as needed.

Burning in mouth and throat, Diarrhea, Insomnia, Myopia, Nervousness, Osteomalacia and Rickets

Assists in the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth.

Alopecia (hair loss), Areflexia, Dermatitis, Gait Disturbances, Infertility, Malabsorption, Muscular Dystrophy, Ophthalmoplegia, Proprioception problems, RBC fragility, Vibratory sense dysfunction

As an antioxidant, helps protect cell membranes, lipoproteins, fats and vitamin A from destructive oxidation. Helps protect red-blood cells.

Poor clotting time Osteoporosis

Needed for proper blood clotting. Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include easy bruisability, epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, menorrhagia and hematuria.

Bleeding Gums/Loose gums Depression/malaise/tiredness, Easy bruising, Impaired wound heating, Irritability, Joint pain

As an antioxidant, inhibits the formation of nitrosamines (a suspected carcinogen). Important for maintenance of bones, teeth, collagen and blood vessels (capillaries). Enhances iron absorption, red-blood cell formation. A deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy.

Abdonminal pain, Alopecia (hair loss,) Burning feet, Coordination impairment, Depression, Eczema, Faintness/Fatigue, Hypotension, Infections, Insomnia, Muscle spasms, Nausea & vomiting, Nervousness, Tachycardia, Weakness

Releases energy from foods. Involved in synthesis of acetylcholine, an excitatory neurotransmitter. Needed for normal functioning of the adrenal glands.

Anemia (megaloblastic) Anorexia Apathy Birth Defects (spina bifida, Hydroec- cephalaocoels), GI upsets/diarrhea, Dyspepesia, Geographic tongue, Growth retardation, Headaches, Insomnia, Memory Loss, Paranoia, Vitaligo, Weakness

Necessary for proper red-blood cell formation. Plays a role in the metabolism of fats, amino acids, DNA and RNA. Needed for proper cell division and protein synthesis. Prevents spina bifida birth defects.

As a lipotropic nutrient, prevents fat accumulation in the liver. Precursor to acetylcholine, a major neurotransmitter in the brain.

Alopecia, Constipation, Eczema, Hypercholesterolemia

Involved in calcium mobilization.
