When a person comes to me seeking assistance with pain and fatigue, I will look at their skin, hair and nails, ask if they bruise easily and so on. Vitamin C deficiency is widespread as is deficiency in various other vitamins and minerals. Up to 50% of young women have low iron levels. In a recent study about 40% of NZ women reported low libido - a condition associated with poor nutrition, stress and fatigue.
