Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy epithelial tissue, which is found in the eyes, skin, respiratory and urinary systems. It contributes to the development of teeth and bones and the function of genital glands (testicles and ovaries).

Its reduced intake can lead to "night blindness" or "nyctalopia" (difficulty adjusting the eyes to dim light), dry eyes, keratomalacia and total blindness. In addition, its lack increases the risk of respiratory and diarrheal infection, contributes to a decrease in the rate of bone growth and life expectancy after a serious illness. On the other hand, its sufficiency helps the body's resistance to infections of the respiratory and genitourinary systems.

Vitamin D is essential for efficient absorption and maintenance of calcium levels in the blood. Its importance is vital for the normal functioning of the nervous system, bone growth, the maintenance of bone density and the treatment of osteoporosis.

Low levels of vitamin D can lead to increased calcium build-up in the arteries, causing atherosclerotic plaque to form. In contrast, vitamin D sufficiency can strengthen the immune system and alleviate the painful symptoms of autoimmune diseases.
