*”mineral deficiency” is a lack of dietary minerals, the micronutrients that are needed for an organism’s proper health*
.
The cause may be a poor diet, impaired uptake of the minerals that are consumed or a dysfunction in the organism’s use of the mineral after it is absorbed.
.
(these deficiencies can result in many disorders including “anemia” and “goitre”)
