Why do we have Deficiencies?

Why is it important to fill nutritional deficiencies? Nutrient replenishment is a mechanism to avoid nutrient-related dysfunctions.

Let's look at why we may have macronutrient deficiencies, micronutrients and vitamins?

• Deficit in consumption

• Inadequate chewing

• Gastrointestinal dysfunctions (Low stomach acid, enzyme deficiency, microbiota changes)

• Improper metabolism of nutrients

• Too rapid elimination or detoxification of nutrients

• Poor absorption of nutrients due to medications

• High BMI

• Physiological causes (Pregnancy, sports, teenagers)

• Contact with toxins

• Diets (Veganism, Vegetarianism, Gluten-Free Diet)

• Alcoholism

• Taking certain medications that will interfere with nutrient absorption. For example, when using cholesterol-lowering drugs, we can see deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins, vitamins B12 and B9, Q10 and others. And when using oral contraceptives, you probably will see a deficiency of B vitamins, as well as magnesium, selenium, zinc, Q10.

• Deficiencies due to acute/chronic illness. People with acute and chronic diseases already have certain deficiencies

• Genetics. For some people, there will be a genetic condition for taking additional nutrients.
