Question: How do I know if I have a vitamin and mineral deficiency?

Answer:The mouth is a mirror to the immune system. Unhealthy, bleeding gums are the first signs of a vitamin and mineral deficiency. The lack of magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, vitamin E or vitamin C can allow rapid destruction of cell membranes, compromising the structural integrity of the cells, leading to gingivitis and periodontal disease. Bleeding gums attract scavenging bacteria, and the bacterial digestion of blood creates unpleasant mouth odors. It is a vicious cycle that can be quelled by proper oral hygiene, adequate diet and nutritional supplementation and the use of herbal remedies as an adjunct to conventional therapies.
