The health of your gut and digestion play a huge part in your absorption of critical vitamins and minerals.
This is why I often see deficiencies when working with clients who have impaired digestion. That’s because they’re not absorbing and assimilating their food well. Surprisingly you can be eating a very healthy organic diet with lots of colorful veggies and still may not be absorbing well.
Even if you are, you still may need some help in the vitamin department due to soil depletion since modern agricultural methods have stripped increasing amounts of nutrients from the soil in which the food we eat grows.
When your body is depleted of minerals and vitamins you may have many symptoms like the ones you see below in the graphic.
Here are some examples of deficiencies and how they can show up in your body:
| Vitamin D | Hair loss, weak teeth and nails, eye twitching, insomnia |
| Vitamin C | Ruptured eye vessels, bleeding gums, nosebleeds |
| Vitamin B12 | Numbness, canker sores, dizziness, spoon shaped nails |
| Vitamin A | Poor night vision, dry hair or skin, |
| Magnesium | Muscle cramping, Constipation |
| Zinc | Loss of smell or taste |
Improving your gut health is a great place to start. If you decide to supplement with extra vitamins, remember to get pharmaceutical grade supplements since not all supplements are created equal!
