Potential Nutrient Deficiencies

The Vitamin Deficiency

  • Vitamin E

  • VITAMIN E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It is essential for the normal functioning of the immune system, skin, and eyes, and may also play a role in helping to prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

    The daily recommended intake of VITAMIN E for both men and women is 15 mg. However, based on the age and health conditions, it may vary.

    – Infants (0-12 months): 4-5 mg/day
    – Children (1-8 years): 6-7 mg/day
    – Adolescents (9-13 years): 11 mg/day
    – Adolescents (14-18 years): 15 mg/day
    – Adults (19 years and older): 15 mg/day
    – Pregnant women: 15 mg/day
    – Breastfeeding women: 19 mg/day

    NOTE: It is always recommended to consult a healthcare professional to determine the right dosage for an individual.

  • Vitamin D

  • VITAMIN D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for the regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. It helps to promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines, which contributes to bone health and growth. VITAMIN D is also important for immune function and has been associated with reduced incidence of certain diseases such as multiple sclerosis, depression, and some types of cancer.

    The recommended daily intake of VITAMIN D varies according to age and gender. The following are the recommended daily intake for different age groups:

    – Infants 0-12 months: 400-1000 IU/day
    – Children 1-18 years: 600-1,000 IU/day
    – Adults 19-70 years: 600-800 IU/day
    – Adults over 70 years: 800-1000 IU/day

    NOTE: Some people may need higher VITAMIN D intake, such as those who have limited exposure to sunlight, have dark skin, are obese, or have certain medical conditions. It is always recommended to consult a healthcare provider about the proper dosage of VITAMIN D supplements.
