When our cells do not function at their best, our health is compromised, setting the stage for the development of disease. Even though you may eat a balanced diet, and may even take supplements, if you do not absorb the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential micronutrients properly, you will have deficiencies at the cellular level. Each of us is metabolically and bio-chemically unique, with different micronutrient requirements. This explains why some people who are striving to improve their health, still have some deficiencies.
Chronic Illness
There is overwhelming evidence that vitamin deficiencies are associated with disease processes, and overall health. Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress the function of the immune system which can contribute to degenerative processes such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, fatigue and multiple sclerosis. University research shows that 50% of people taking supplements remain deficient.
Aging
Our micronutrient requirements at age 30 is quite different from our requirements at age 40, 50, and beyond. Absorption difficulties, especially of vitamin B12, quite commonly occur as we age.
Lifestyle
Excessive physical activity, prescription drugs, smoking, alcohol and inactivity all impact micronutrient demands.
