The vast majority of Americans are deficient in B vitamins, and D3. Animal products are the main source of b vitamins. If you are a vegan, it’s important to supplement your b vitamins to ensure proper nutrition. Vitamin D3 can be consumed naturally simply by investing time outside and soaking up some sun. Many are dealing with a deficiency in vitamin D3 due to the pandemic. Most people are spending more time at the house than usual.

 

Alcohol consumption is the leading cause of vitamin B deficiency. Just because your tolerance is great does not mean you must test it every weekend. Understand what is considered over-consumption of alcohol so your body gets the proper number of B vitamins it needs to stimulate your nerves.
