Could your “normal” vitamin levels be quietly shortening your health-span?

A new publication from the NUS Academy for Healthy Longevity shows that even mild gaps in vitamins B6, B9, B12, D and K can drain energy, blur cognition, weaken immunity, and erode bone strength, long before any clinical deficiency is flagged. Standard Dietary Reference Intakes are based on the “average” person and often ignore genetics, lifestyle, and nutrient interactions. That means many of us fall below truly optimal levels.

The study suggests that biomarker-guided, precision supplementation could help redefine what “enough” really means—supporting longer, healthier lives tailored to everyone.

This work, led by Muhammad Daniel Azlan Mahadzir, Sheryl Tan, Dr Elena Sandalova, Dr Ee Moon Chin, and Prof Andrea B. Maier, lays the foundation for setting evidence-based thresholds that personalise nutrition.
