However, only a keen knowledge of what signs to watch out for will really tell you how big of a deficiency you have. Vitamin deficiency is the result of taking one’s health and also one’s well-being for granted, prioritizing other things. Here are some easy ways to know if you already have vitamin deficiency before you have to go to the doctor and have that checked out. Simple Signs That Are As Serious as Can Be You have vitamin deficiency if you have weak bones – this is a sign of deficiency of vitamin K as well as calcium. These two things are the essential nutrients necessary for healthy teeth and bones. These two are very important also because there are other symptoms that tell if you are deficient in these two vitamins. If you experience heavy menstrual bleeding and feel anemic, nosebleed quite frequently and have the tendency to bruise easily, then you have vitamin deficiency in vitamin K. When the deficiency becomes too severe, it could lead to hemorrhage. Vitamin deficiency can also be identified with depression. This indicates that you have vitamin B12 deficiency, meaning you have very low count of red blood cells and thus makes your body unsuccessful in evenly distributing oxygen throughout your body. This is a tricky kind of vitamin deficiency since the symptoms could also mimic that of an illness. Fatigue and feeling easily tired are two symptoms, as well as diarrhea and also constipation. Other indicators include pale and sallow skin and on the extreme side, bouts of dementia. Not many people would have thought that the lack of vitamin B12 could actually lead to dementia! google_ad_client = "pub-5298980831966470"; /* 336x280, created 7/29/09 */ google_ad_slot = "7594500533"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; //--> The bodily systems are also affected, specifically your reproductive health and your cardiovascular health. Find yourself unable to conceive? Chances are, you are lacking in Vitamin D. Lack of vitamin D leads to muscle pain and weak bones (quite common knowledge) and – get this – miscarriages or infertility. Vitamin deficiency also has a direct link to eyesight, if we are talking about vitamin A deficiency. Doctors say a person could actually go blind if he or she is suffering from severe deficiency in Vitamin A. This very important vitamin is necessary for good vision, the maintenance of your teeth, skin and the mucous membranes. Falling short of vitamin A means poor vision (especially at night), eyes that dry out easily and rough skin. And finally, a vitamin deficiency of one very potent anti-oxidant vitamin called E can be traced to your looks. If you are twenty five but look like you could pass for forty, then you are clearly lacking in vitamin E, a vitamin that is essential in muscle and nerve maintenance. The symptoms usually associated with vitamin E deficiency include eye cataracts, lower sexual libido, age spots and abnormalities in the liver, muscles and bone marrow. So there you have it – simple indicators that you might be suffering from a vitamin deficiency.
