Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vitamins are essential nutrients that the body needs to function properly. One’s intake via their diet is often inadequate compared to recommendations. Recommendations are often defined to avoid deficiencies. However, it is no longer about vitamin deficiency. Optimal status provides many health benefits. In the Special Issue, the following aspects should be covered:
- What are cut off points for deficiency, suboptimal status, and optimal status?
- Which biomarkers should be used to assess vitamin status?
- What are the benefits of optimal status for long-term health?
Also, the contributions should next address the benefits of single vitamins and how vitamins work in concert regarding the optimal range.
