Systemic Chemical Deficiencies

Meaning

A broad clinical term referring to the suboptimal levels of essential micronutrients, necessary cofactors, or metabolic intermediates required for the efficient function of major physiological systems, particularly the endocrine and nervous systems. These deficiencies are often subclinical, meaning they may not meet the criteria for overt nutritional disease but are sufficient to impair enzymatic reactions and hormonal synthesis or metabolism. Clinically addressing these deficits is recognized as a foundational, non-negotiable step in personalized health optimization.
