In reply to test for lack of minerals and vitamins, posted by Wolf Dreamer on October 17, 2003, at 8:53:34
One test that seems to work for some people with zinc is to look at your fingernails. If I have any white spots..I'm zinc deficient.
Others use other symptoms..similarly for calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron etc. You have to learn to listen to your own body...and what your body wants you to eat.
If you search the net there is sure to be lists of signs of deficiency of most of the minerals around.
