Are You Taking All Your Vitamins?

Let's face the facts. We all know it's important to have the correct vitamins daily, but do we really know what we should be taking, how often and what brands should you trust? In today's article, I am going to talk about what vitamins you should be taking and what brands I suggest.



According to Healthline.com, It’s important to get enough nutrients on a regular basis, or you could experience a nutrient deficiency. These deficiencies can affect your health, and you may experience noticeable symptoms and side effects. Fatigue and headaches are two of the most common side effects of nutritional deficiencies.

Some side effects and symptoms can indicate specific nutrient deficiencies:

  • Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet can indicate a vitamin B deficiency.

  • Muscle cramps can indicate deficiencies of magnesium, calcium, or potassium.

  • Fatigue, weakness, and muscle aches can indicate a vitamin D deficiency.

  • Memory loss can be a sign of a vitamin B12 deficiency.

  • Mouth ulcers, fatigue, or gray hair can indicate a folate deficiency.

  • Poor night vision, bumps on the back of the arms, or dandruff can all indicate a vitamin A deficiency.


According to theCenters for Disease Control and PreventionTrusted Source(CDC), vitamins and micronutrients are essential for normal cell function, growth, and development. Since we can’t produce all the nutrients we need, we must get many of them from food.


The following vitamins are imperative for the body to function properly:

  • vitamin A, which is essential for healthy vision, skin, and skeletal tissue

  • vitamin B1 (thiamin), which helps the body metabolize fats and produce energy

  • vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which is an antioxidant and protects the body’s cells against free radicals

  • vitamin B3 (niacin), which can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease

  • vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), which is essential for hormone production, immune system health, and producing energy

  • vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), which helps produce myelin, a protective layer around cells

  • vitamin B7 (biotin), which is necessary for the metabolism as well as healthy skin, hair, nails, and cells

  • vitamin B9 (folate), which is necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system

  • vitamin B12 (cobalamin), which is essential for the production of healthy red blood cells and nerve cells

  • vitamin C, which is essential for growth and repair in body tissue

  • vitamin D, which aids in calcium absorption and allows for healthy bones and optimal immune function

  • vitamin E, which protects against free radicals and can boost the immune system

  • vitamin K, which can help the blood to clot and prevent excessive bleeding, and keeps your heart healthy and your bones strong

  • choline, which is important for liver function, nerve function, and muscle movement

I'd suggest trying to consume your vitamins through the food you eat, but if you can not get the daily recommended intake through your food, that is when you vitamin supplements come into play!
