All Systems Go: Constipation Relief
March 7, 2024
As physicians we are surprised at how often people come in to see us thinking they have a medical problem, but after careful consideration, we determine they ultimately suffer from a vitamin deficiency. People often mistake their symptoms for thyroid problems, adrenal problems or other ailments. Real medical problems should not be discounted, however vitamin deficiencies can often masquerade as these issues. Recent studies have shown that at least 40% of Americans have key vitamin deficiencies. Many people do not realize that troubling symptoms they may be having could be due to these simply correctable deficiencies.
Hair loss and thinning hair can in fact be cause by certain vitamin deficiencies. Iron and Vitamin D are the common culprits. To help treat the problem, they need to be replaced in proper doses along with Vitamin C to facilitate the iron absorption. Additionally Biotin, a B vitamin, should be included to help provide your body the proper building blocks.
Migraines are such a common problem with many different triggers. However research has shown that people who have migraines can have better control when taking proper vitamins. These can include magnesium, certain B vitamins and vitamin D.
Numbness & Tingling in the hands and feet is a complaint that can be caused my many medical conditions. It can also be related to certain common vitamin deficiencies. The most common culprits are vitamin B12 and folic acid. Deficiency of iron can also cause these symptoms at night, causing a need to move ones legs around when sleeping, a condition called restless leg syndrome.
Fatigue or Lack of Energy can plague many of us. It can of course have many causes. However, some of the most overlooked causes include lack of certain key vitamins. Replenishing Iodine (which supports the thyroid gland), iron, Vitamin D and magnesium can all play a role in fatigue and lack of energy. As with all vitamins they need to be replaced in safe and proper doses based on individual disease.
Many people do not realize that some of these symptoms can be caused by common vitamin deficiencies. They can of course also be caused by other medical conditions. Your doctor should be consulted about this and any vitamins you may choose to take. Of course, we do not all need the same vitamins. We all have different diets, lifestyle and health histories. Our vitamin needs vary accordingly. A carefully chosen vitamin regimen can make all the difference. A good Personalized Multivitamin is a great way to make sure you get what you need to feel your best and to find your best health.
