VitaWhat
Vitamins, minerals, deficiencies, diets and foods — with a 3D body locator.
VitaWhat is an interactive guide to nutrition, minerals and the body, built on a simple idea: what you take matters, so it helps you understand why. Explore vitamins, minerals, deficiencies, allergies, diets and foods, then rotate a 3D body to pinpoint exactly where a shortfall shows, inside or out.
The vitamins and minerals section sets out recommended daily amounts, benefits, food sources and what a shortfall actually does, so you can see not just what a nutrient is, but why it matters and where to get it.
Its standout feature is the 3D Body Locator, which lets you rotate a male or female figure to see where deficiencies show up in the body. Cross-referencing deficiencies to real anatomy makes the effects of poor nutrition tangible and easy to understand.
VitaWhat goes well beyond vitamins, covering allergies, blood types, deficiencies, E numbers, herbal and botanical entries, hormones, and water, giving a rounded picture of how different substances affect health.
On the food and diet side, it explores diets, food packaging, fruits and vegetables, meats, milks, and oils and butters, and includes an energy and BMI calculator with dozens of foods, so you can connect nutrition theory to everyday eating.
Whether you are curious about a specific vitamin, trying to understand a deficiency, or simply want to eat and live more knowledgeably, VitaWhat turns complex nutrition information into something clear, visual and genuinely useful.

Information, not medical advice. VitaWhat explains what nutrients do and what a shortfall looks like, so you can have a better-informed conversation with a healthcare professional — it does not diagnose or treat.
