After the age of 50, the body of people can experience a lack of two vital vitamins: vitamin D and vitamin B12. These are the data of the US National Institutes of Health.

"Stomach acid production can decrease with age, which can make it difficult to absorb vitamin B12. In addition, the body converts sunlight into vitamin D much less efficiently," experts note.
Vitamin D is needed by the body for strong bones. In addition, the vitamin helps him absorb calcium (another important bone builder), plays an important role in the proper growth of cells, and also reduces inflammation that causes various diseases.
