Common deficiencies
Today’s lifestyle contributes to many people suffering from various nutrient deficiencies. This is primarily influenced by what we eat and drink, as well as factors such as stress levels, sleep patterns, exercise habits, and whether we spend time outdoors or indoors.
Many of us consume a lot of processed and pre-packaged foods, which have lost a significant amount of nutrients along the way to our kitchens. Unfortunately, they often also contain less healthy additives that can further impact nutrient absorption. Heating and handling of ingredients during cooking also contribute to the destruction of much of the nutrient content. Additionally, soils have become increasingly depleted, partly due to acidification and the use of commercial fertilizers, resulting in lower mineral content in crops.
Stress, lack of sleep, excessive coffee consumption, alcohol, exposure to pollutants, and other factors can deplete certain nutrients more rapidly, such as vitamin C and magnesium. In such cases, it is nearly impossible to meet the body’s needs through diet alone. The body consumes more vitamin C as stress levels increase, and it would take 40-80 oranges to obtain a daily intake that corresponds to the normal requirements for many mammals (most animals produce their own vitamin C as needed, which humans cannot do). Furthermore, a deficiency or excess of one substance can lead to a deficiency of another. For example, excessive calcium intake (from consuming a lot of dairy products) can result in magnesium deficiency, which in turn can lead to vitamin D deficiency (even if vitamin D3 supplements are taken). How nutrients are absorbed also varies individually and depends on factors such as gut flora, body constitution, age, and more.
Nutrient deficiencies have significant consequences, although the symptoms may not be immediately apparent as they can be more diffuse. These consequences can include a weakened immune system, increased susceptibility to infections, fatigue, depression, high blood pressure, heart problems, skin issues, bleeding gums, impaired wound healing, and deteriorated nail and hair quality, among others. Many common diseases today are also believed to have underlying chronic nutrient deficiencies as their root cause.
It can be easy to assume that we are getting enough nutrients when taking various supplements, but it is important to review the quantity, form, and composition of the supplements since absorption can vary greatly.
How do you then not get a nutritional deficiency?
There are many approaches. Starting with various supplements can be a good beginning.
For those who want to go even deeper, it may be worth considering a blood or hair mineral analysis to get an idea of any nutritional deficiencies. This can provide more detailed information about what deficiencies one may have.

Collagen
Kollagen är kroppens vanligaste protein och bygger upp all struktur i kroppen. Det bygger upp skelett, all typ av Fascia som senor, ligament, ledkapslar, hud, blodkärl, lymfkärl, nervtrådar m.m. Kollagen är livsviktigt för en fungerande Fascia och därmed för en fungerande kropp.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol är en kraftfull antioxidant som hjälper till att stärka immunförsvaret och skydda kroppens celler mot för tidigt åldrande, motverkar klimakteriebesvär med förbättrad kollagenproduktion och bentäthet. Resveratrol har även virushämmande och cancerhämmande egenskaper.
Why do some doctors say that vitamin C supplements are unnecessary and even harmful?
In the public healthcare system, there is often a cool attitude towards nutritional supplements such as vitamins and minerals.
Quercetin
Quercetin är en flavonoid och kraftig antioxidant, som finns naturligt i många färgstarka växter, till exempel lök och kapris. Den hör också till en grupp av växter som kallas fytoestrogener, som är växter som innehåller substanser som kemiskt liknar östrogen. Dessa fytoestrogener har då östrogenliknande effekt i kroppen och kan därför påverka kvinnor i och efter klimakteriet på ett positivt sätt och minska klimakteriebesvär.
Vitamin D
Formed in our skin with the help of sunlight and it is almost impossible to get enough in the north during most of the year
Magnesium
Sugar, coffee and alcohol impair absorption and can cause magnesium deficiency
Nutrition
To feel good, we need an adequate intake of nutrients. With an increasingly nutrient-poor diet, higher levels of stress, and sedentary lifestyles, we need to do more to take care of our Fascia.
