What are the common vitamin deficiencies to worry about?

Date: July 18, 2011 08:46AM All these recent vitamin threads are concerning me because from what has been posted, it seems even many meat eaters are deficient of major vitamins. With my diet + not taking multi-vitamins I'm guessing I'm deficient in something as well, if not many things.
I'm going to get tested for D and B12 on my next exam. What else would be wise to have checked? Thanks Re: What are the common vitamin deficiencies to worry about?

Sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium basically your electrolytes are usually checked for, iron is usually tested. Vitamin D and B12 usually have to be asked for. Anything other than that you'll be lucky to have tested. Vegans are commonly low in iodine and zinc also. [www.vegankingdom.co.uk] Re: What are the common vitamin deficiencies to worry about?
