Did You Know!
People can develop a serious vitamin deficiency even while eating “healthy” foods every day.
Doctors say some nutrient disorders are caused not by poor diet, but by the body’s inability to absorb nutrients properly. Conditions like Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or even long-term acid reflux medication use can block absorption of important nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, calcium, and magnesium. In some cases, a person may eat nutrient-rich meals daily and still become dangerously deficient without realizing it.
