This clearly explains why you have health problems, no guessing or Dr's necessary
Core Nutrient Deficiencies
Can you really get everything you need from your diet?
Let's throw out the emotional responses and dogma and examine the facts, just based on the DRI/RDA numbers (which have been proven to be the absolute minimum and in most cases 10-1000X too low for optimal health)
A large body of research has demonstrated that most Americans are not getting what they need from their diet. For example, in one recent U.S. Dept. of Agriculture survey of 20,000 people, not a single person was consuming adequate levels of all the vitamins and minerals. In this study, the percentage of Americans were found to be deficient as follows: 90% in vit. B6, 75% in magnesium, 68% in calcium, 57% in iron, 50% in vitamin A, 45% in vitamin B1, 41% in vitamin C, 34% in vitamin B2 ...and the list goes on.
There are literally hundreds of medical studies to suggest it's a virtual certainty that you and every member of your family are deficient in one or more essential (not optional) nutrients.
***Out of 20,000 people statistically there must be hundreds of people with extremely health conscious diets and yet not even those people meet the most basic/minimum requirements!
SETTING YOUR KIDS UP FOR HEART DISEASE: Research published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 2002 shows that when the diets of 2,566 children ages 11-19 were studied, less than 14% of boys and 12% of girls had adequate intakes of magnesium.
The truth is 99% of population is magnesium deficient
Approx. 85% of population is deficient in Zinc & Copper
Approx. 90% or more of the population is Sulfur deficient.
Folic Acid Deficiency: Average diet contains 60% of RDA; deficient in 100% of elderly in one study; deficient in 48% of adolescent girls; requirement doubles in pregnancy
Iodine deficiency is present in overwhelming majority of population
Vitamin B6 - Deficiency: 71% of male and 90% of female diets deficient
A careful look at 3,000 men and women in the ongoing Framingham Offspring Study found 39 percent with plasma B12 levels in the low normal range--below 258 picomoles per liter.
Dr. Blaylock says that at least 50% of the population is deficient in Selenium.
Recent statistics indicate that nearly 99% of people in the United States do not eat enough omega 3 fatty acids. However, the symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency are very vague, and can often be attributed to some other health conditions or nutrient deficiencies.
***There are various stats that can be found that all indicate these numbers plus or minus a few % points but that is not the point. The point is that we cannot get everything we need from our food and this is measured against the bare minimum standards for good health!
When looking to supplement your diet also consider that Brian Clement, PhD, LNC recently made the statement that 91% of all supplements on the market are actually harmful to our health so we need to be cautious about which supplements we use.
Luckily for us Young Living's True Source whole food, multi-nutrient based multivitamin is very affordable relative to any remotely comparable formulas out there and provides with a lot of the nutrients we are missing and is safe as it is whole food based. For more info see

If you want to save even more money and deal with other chronic deficiencies like Omega 3's, DHA in particular, I would highly recommend Core Supplement Daily Super Packs, which contain the following and you save $10 for purchasing the bundle. Any long term deficiency will eventually result in a health problem but by getting your levels of core nutrients everything in your body will work better. You will have
more energy, lower inflammation, better moods aid in weight loss and many other benefits.
