Micronutrients & recovery
Mineral deficiencies are disproportionately common in specific gastrointestinal disorders (Celiac, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis) due to malabsorption, leading to specific mineral shortfalls (Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium) that exacerbate tissue inflammation.
If you have Celiac, Crohn's, or Colitis, standard multivitamins may not be enough. You are at high risk for specific mineral deficiencies (Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc) due to gut damage. Work with your doctor to monitor and replace these specific minerals to support gut healing and reduce inflammation.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
For this reasons, primary mineral inadequacies in celiac patients are iron, calcium, magnesium, and to a lesser degree zinc, copper, and selenium [55]. Mineral malabsorption in Crohn patients is variable but generally includes iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc [56].
Why this rating
Cites specific studies [55, 56] linking specific diseases to specific mineral profiles.
