Doctor explains: This is often the reason for chronic fatigue
Persistent tiredness affects many people, often without an obvious cause. While stress or poor sleep can play a role, nutrient deficiencies may also be to blame. Even a single missing vitamin or mineral can disrupt energy levels and overall health over time.
Key micronutrients like magnesium, iron, vitamin D, and B vitamins are vital for energy production. When these are lacking, fatigue can set in. Stress, heavy exercise, and certain medications can further drain the body’s reserves of these essential nutrients.
A blood test provides the clearest way to identify deficiencies. Doctors typically check levels of vitamin D, omega-3, homocysteine, ferritin, and selenium. In Germany, deficiencies in vitamin D (especially in those over 65), vitamin B12, magnesium, iron, folic acid, iodine, selenium, and zinc are particularly common. Mindful eating and a gut-friendly diet can improve nutrient absorption. If supplements are needed, quality matters—transparency, bioavailability, and origin should guide choices. Products from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are often preferred due to their strict safety standards and clear liability rules. Before starting supplements, consulting a doctor is essential. This ensures any underlying conditions are ruled out and the right deficiencies are targeted.
Addressing nutrient gaps can help restore energy and balance. A blood test pinpoints exactly what the body needs, while high-quality supplements and dietary adjustments support long-term health. Proper guidance from a healthcare professional ensures the safest and most effective approach.
