Nutrient Deficiencies in Chronic Diseases Nutrient deficiencies can be caused by a variety to reasons – inadequate intake being the one that is the first to come to mind. Other causes include improper absorption by the GI tract, lack of activity, lack of cofactors and failure to transport to appropriate tissue.

The key is high quality – a study done a few years ago by ConsumerLab.com found that more than half of the multi-vitamins tested did not meet their own label requirements and some were even contaminated by toxins such as lead.
