also include the alleviation of
conditions like asthma, hair
loss, allergies, stress and
anxiety, respiratory disorders
and heart problems.

hormone control, emotional
disorders, skin conditions,

disorders
• Vitamin B7 (Biotin)
include improved
metabolism, tissue
maintenance, healthy
skin, weight loss, relief
from heart problems,
alopecia and Parkinson's

levels.
15. FUNCTIONS
• vitamin B9 (folic acid)

21. DISEASE, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• Rickets
is a skeletal disorder that
results from a lack of vitamin D,
calcium, or phosphate. These
nutrients are important for the
development of strong, healthy
bones. People with rickets can
have weak and soft bones,
stunted growth, and, in severe
cases, skeletal deformities.
22. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• pain or tenderness in the bones of
the arms, legs, pelvis, or spine
• stunted growth and short stature
• bone fractures
• muscle cramps
• teeth deformities, such as:
– delayed tooth formation
– holes in the enamel
– abscesses
– defects in the tooth structure
– an increased number of cavities
• skeletal deformities, including:
– an oddly shaped skull
– bowlegs, or legs that bow out
– bumps in the ribcage
