Mineral deficiency can lead to a range of health issues, depending on which minerals are lacking. Common consequences include weakened bones from calcium deficiency, anemia from insufficient iron, and impaired immune function due to low zinc levels. Symptoms may vary, including fatigue, muscle cramps, and increased susceptibility to illness. Long-term deficiencies can result in serious health complications if not addressed.
