Overview
Minerals like iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium are essential for proper body function and deficiencies can lead to various health problems. Hence, some health disorders are closely associated with mineral intake. For example, low bioavailability of dietary minerals and poor diet quality are two critical factors for iron deficiency, leading to disorders like anaemia. Mineral concentrations can be detected in biological materials like urine or serum. Head hair is a good mineral body biomarker, helping trace nutrient intake and understand your nutritional status.
