About Nutrient Deficiencies

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can develop slowly over time, with symptoms often appearing only after prolonged inadequate intake. This tool helps identify potential deficiencies based on symptoms and lifestyle factors.

Common Deficiencies:

• Iron: Leads to fatigue and pale skin (common in women and vegetarians)
• Vitamin B12: Causes neurological symptoms (common in vegans and older adults)
• Magnesium: Associated with muscle cramps and sleep issues
• Calcium: Important for bone health (risk with low dairy intake)

Next Steps:
