Mineral Deficiencies

Mineral deficiencies occur when the body lacks essential minerals needed for healthy functioning. These deficiencies can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, or poor immune response. Common deficiencies include iron (causing anemia), calcium (affecting bones and teeth), and magnesium (important for muscle and nerve function). They may result from inadequate dietary intake, poor absorption, or increased needs. Addressing deficiencies typically involves improving diet with nutrient-rich foods or supplements under medical guidance to restore balance and support overall health.
