Answer 1

Merck, the giant drug manufacturer, has a website that lists many of the nutrients we need and the diseases caused by deficiencies of these.

The link I just gave you is a link to the introductory page on vitamins. Across the top of the page you will see a list of specific vitamins that you can click on for further information. If you are interested in other deficiencies, click on the very top " Disorders of Nutrition and Metabolism" and you will get a list of other nutritional disorders, such as mineral deficiencies.

I think its great that Merck would go to the trouble of providing this information, when their profits depend on selling patented drugs. Too often, doctors and drug companies rely on expensive drugs when a vitamin/mineral supplement may be all that a patient needs.

Edit: Here is a link to the structures of lots of different things, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, drugs, etc. I thought this was very interesting. Thanks for your question. I learned a lot.
