Vitamin Deficiency Disorders

Vitamin deficiency disorders are health conditions resulting from inadequate intake or absorption of essential vitamins. Common deficiencies include vitamin D (leading to rickets or osteomalacia), vitamin B12 (causing anemia and neurological issues), and vitamin C (resulting in scurvy). Symptoms vary depending on the specific vitamin deficiency and can affect multiple systems in the body. Treatment involves dietary supplementation and addressing underlying causes.
