Synopsis

The prevalence of deficiency states in respect to vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavine, and niacin is discussed in light of clinical evidence. Information on the intake, absorption and utilization of the vitamins and depletion-repletion study results provide a basis to recommend vitamin needs.
