Question: Select a specific vitamin and address the following questions:

Imagine you are attending your yearly health risk assessment. When you came to the appointment, you thought you had a proper diet and were of average health. It turns out, the doctor that examines you has a special interest in nutrition. By listening to you describing your symptoms and looking at your test results he/she suggests that you may have a deficiency or toxicity of your selected vitamin. Your post should at least between two hundred and fifty words and should include the following information:

Based upon the vitamin that you have chosen, what were your doctor's observations and diagnosis?

Do you have a toxicity or deficiency? Explain any disorders associated with the deficiency or toxicity.

Briefly describe what your recommended daily allowance based upon your profile (sex, age, physical status, etc.) should be, your present intake estimate, and your action plan (adjustment in diet, etc.).

If left untreated, what might be some of the more serious long term and detrimental effects this might have on your body?

Which special populations (pregnant women, children, etc.) are most affected and why?

What other prevention, treatment, and safety measures might be beneficial to regulate your health?
