Furthermore, ever felt inexplicably tired, sluggish, or just not quite yourself? You might be surprised to learn that these common symptoms could be signs of a nutrient deficiency.
Our bodies need a variety of vitamins and minerals to function properly. When we don’t get enough of a certain nutrient, it can lead to a range of health issues.
Here are some of the most common nutrient deficiencies and their symptoms:
- Iron Deficiency: Fatigue, shortness of breath, pale skin, and brittle nails.
- Vitamin D Deficiency: Bone pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, and mood changes.
- Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Fatigue, weakness, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, and difficulty concentrating.
- Magnesium Deficiency: Loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, muscle cramps, and trouble sleeping.
Don’t Guess, Get Tested!
While these symptoms can be a clue, it’s important to address the root cause of your deficiency, not just treat the symptoms themselves. Self-diagnosing and guessing at supplements can be risky. A simple blood test can help identify which nutrients you might be lacking.
