You probably think that you’re getting all the nutrients you need if you eat reasonably, including fruits and vegetables, and avoid (usually!) junk food. But the truth is, even people who think they have sufficient diets are often lacking some key nutrients. These nutrients might not be plentiful enough in the foods you eat…or your body might not be properly absorbing nutrients from food.
