Deficiency can also cause severe damage to bones, eyes, memory and brain functioning, along with many other possible consequences.

Most of these vitamins are widely found in foods consumed on a daily basis, so deficiency is unlikely as long as a balanced, healthy diet is maintained. Paying attention to the necessities of the food pyramid, eating enough fresh fruits, vegetable, dairy, meat and grain products will help in providing all of the necessary vitamins, but even with a healthy diet and exercise routine, it may be necessary to add a daily multivitamin to your regimen.

A daily multivitamin will help make sure that all vitamin needs are met and that the benefits of vitamins on your body are received.
