Modern diets are surprisingly low in trace minerals. Even a clean, whole-food routine can leave gaps. Here are five signals your body may be running low.
1. Afternoon energy crashes
If you hit a wall every day around 3pm, mineral balance may be part of the story.
2. Restless sleep
Magnesium and other minerals play a role in how easily you wind down at night.
3. Frequent cravings
Salt or sugar cravings can be your body asking for something it isn’t getting.
4. Slow recovery
Sore longer than you used to be after a workout? Minerals support repair.
5. Brain fog
Trouble focusing can trace back to nutrient absorption, where fulvic acid helps.
