What are vitamin and mineral deficiencies?
Vitamin or mineral deficiencies do not always manifest themselves as major health problems, since most of us are not severely deficient in any single nutrient. However, marginal deficiencies are very common, and are likely to be responsible for many minor overlooked symptoms, such as headaches, skin complaints and other niggling health problems such as fatigue, susceptibility to infections, and digestive problems. Minor problems, left untreated, can become more serious, which is why it is important to deal with any nutritional imbalances or small deficiencies as soon as possible.
