40% fall short on calcium.
And 30% of the global population is iron-deficient.
If you’ve felt fatigued, moody, crampy, or foggy lately, it might not be just stress or sleep. It could be a hidden mineral deficiency.
I remember getting sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. That’s when I started digging deep into micronutrients, and everything changed.
Minerals are involved in every major system in the body: energy, mood, immunity, recovery, and even hormone balance.
Here are a few key ones to watch:
Phosphorus: Impacts energy, bone density, and immune response. Low levels can cause weakness and confusion.
Magnesium: Essential for over 300 enzymatic reactions. Deficiency shows up as anxiety, muscle cramps, insomnia, and even arrhythmias.
Potassium: Crucial for nerve function, hydration, and heart rhythm. Low intake can lead to fatigue, cramps, and bloating.
Sodium: Needed for fluid balance and cognitive function. Too little can trigger nausea, headaches, and brain fog.
Calcium: Not just for bones, but also impacts muscle function and mood regulation. Deficiency may lead to brittle nails, tingling, and irritability.
Copper: Supports iron metabolism and bone formation. Low levels may cause anemia, poor immune response, and neurological symptoms.
Zinc: Central to immune strength, skin health, and healing. Low zinc can mean hair loss, frequent infections, or digestive issues.
Iron: If you’re often cold, pale, or exhausted, low iron could be the reason. It’s critical for oxygen delivery and brain function.
Iodine: Regulates thyroid hormones and metabolism. Deficiency may trigger weight gain, cold sensitivity, and brain fog.
Selenium: Antioxidant support, thyroid regulation, and immune defense. Deficiency often shows as low mood, hair loss, or slow recovery.
Don’t let a hidden deficiency keep you stuck. If something feels off, it’s worth digging deeper. Test, don’t guess.
Which of these symptoms do you relate to most?
