Vitamins play a crucial role in maintaining overall health, supporting immunity, strengthening bones, improving brain function, and ensuring the proper functioning of every organ in the body. A vitamin deficiency can develop gradually due to poor nutrition, certain medical conditions, digestive disorders, or lifestyle factors. If left untreated, vitamin deficiencies can lead to fatigue, weakness, poor immunity, nerve problems, anemia, and other health complications.
