Nutrient Deficiencies and Skin Itchiness

Various nutrient deficiencies can significantly contribute to skin itchiness and related conditions. One critical vitamin is vitamin D, where optimal levels should be between 50 and 70 ng/ml; many individuals fall below this range, potentially leading to dry skin and immune dysfunction. Another essential nutrient is vitamin B6, which plays a crucial role in reducing skin inflammation and supporting sleep and mood through its relationship with serotonin and melatonin. Zinc deficiency is also noteworthy, as inadequate zinc can compromise skin integrity and make individuals more susceptible to fungal infections and rashes.
