What important vitamins you cannot find in fruits and vegetables?

Fresh vegetables and fruits are known to be the best source of vitamins and minerals. However, herbal foods lack some important nutrients - Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3.

B12 or cobalamin vitamin is important for red blood cell production as well as overall nerve and brain health. Lack of nutrition and organism can lead to serious problems - from weakness in the legs, dizziness, through vision problems to irritability, violent behavior and hallucinations.

A daily dose of 2.5 to 9 micrograms of vitamin B12 is recommended, and this is not difficult to achieve for most people who eat food of animal origin. B12 is abundantly represented in fish and seafood, eggs, cow's milk and meat, writes Full Koufer.

On the other hand, vegans and people who eat exclusively plant-based foods should take supplements or consume foods with added vitamin B12. This important vitamin is a common supplement to plant milk, nutritional yeast and vegan alternatives to meat.

Vegetables and fruits also do not provide Vitamin D3, often called the Sun Vitamin. Although the skin can synthesize it from the sun, during the winter it is good to reach for its nutritional sources such as meat, cow's milk, dairy products, fish oil, egg yolks, as well as some mushrooms.

Vitamin D is essential for muscle and bone health. Its deficiency in the body can result in a host of unpleasant symptoms - from fatigue and bad mood to bone fractures and osteoporosis.
