Vitamin deficiency

Vitamin deficiency is a state of inadequate physiological levels of one or more essential organic micronutrients required for normal cellular function, growth, and metabolic homeostasis Depending on whether the depleted micronutrient is water-soluble (such as B-complex vitamins and vitamin C) or fat-soluble (vitamins A, D, E, and K), the pathophysiology impairs critical biochemical pathways, coenzyme activities, or cellular signaling
