The Importance of Nutrient Deficiencies

Nutrient deficiencies can have a significant impact on overall health and performance. Taking a good multivitamin can help fill the gaps in essential nutrients, especially for those with restricted or imbalanced diets. Vitamin D3 and magnesium are common deficiencies that can cause various symptoms such as joint pain and low energy. Sodium, particularly for those who eat whole natural foods and work out, is vital for optimal performance. B vitamins, especially B12, are crucial for energy production and often lacking in vegetarian and vegan diets.
