Understanding Nutrient Gaps
Many people assume they are meeting their nutritional needs, but common dietary patterns can leave gaps in key vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. The Nutrient Gap Explorer is designed as an educational tool to help visualize how food choices, lifestyle habits, supplements, and foundational nutrition may influence estimated nutrient intake.
How the Nutrient Gap Explorer Works
This tool estimates nutrient patterns based on food group intake, lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and stress load, current supplement use, and foundational nutritional support. Results are grouped into broader wellness areas including energy, immune support, bone and muscle health, brain and nervous system support, metabolic health, and cellular protection.
Why Nutrient Gaps Matter
Nutrients work together to support normal body functions. Vitamins and minerals help support energy production, immune function, metabolism, tissue maintenance, and cellular health. Understanding nutrient patterns can help identify areas where food choices or nutritional support may be worth exploring.
