*Nutritional deficiencies:
In order to be transported into body where they are needed, minerals rely on carrier proteins that reside in the gut.
These carrier proteins are also damaged by inflammation, making them unable to transport ingested minerals into the body for their utilization.
In a similar way, very long periods of inflammation can also prevent the absorption of vitamins and essential amino acids, leading to other types of nutritional deficiencies.
