Mineral supplementation during pregnancy is commonplace, but supplementation late in gestation or in postnatal life may not overcome the damage caused by the earlier restriction. Minerals essential for pregnancy 24 Because of the difficulties, both ethical and practical, of studying the effect of maternal mineral status in humans, our current level of understanding has been derived mainly from observational and intervention studies in which maternal intakes, low or high, are associated with adverse or favorable pregnancy outcomes [1] and from extrapolation from animal studies [2].
Years of medical and scientific studies have shown the significant and far-reaching consequences of mineral deficiencies on the population, ranging from fatigue to impaired cognitive function. Mineral deficiencies also lead to immune dysfunction, impaired brain and nervous system development, the development and function of skeletal muscle, gastrointestinal problems, and compromised bone metabolism [10]. In this section, we discuss the consequences of deficiencies using both animal and human models and consider how these might be best treated, if indeed they can.
