Deficiency symptoms

Signs of a deficiency of biofactors in everyday life

In the case of incipient biofactor deficiency states the symptoms are usually non-specific and express themselves, inter alia, in tiredness, mood lability, lack of concentration, an increased susceptibility to infections and reduced quality of life.

Deficiency states often affect several biofactors at the same time. Accordingly, many symptoms overlap. If these symptoms continue or even intensify, you should consult your family doctor or pharmacist.

Below there is an overview of signs which may indicate a deficiency of vitamins, minerals and trace elements:
