Explore clear educational resources about medication-related nutrient patterns, body systems, supplements, evidence, and questions to discuss with your healthcare provider.
Learn the basics, understand your report, and prepare for better healthcare conversations.
Build a strong foundation by learning what your report means, how medication-related nutrient relationships are studied, and how educational information should be used responsibly.
Learn how to interpret nutrient priorities, combined patterns, body-system summaries, evidence indicators, proposed mechanisms, and citations so every section of your report becomes easier to understand.
Use what you've learned to prepare thoughtful conversations about medications, nutrition, laboratory testing, supplements, and next steps so your healthcare appointments are more informed and productive.
It refers to the ways certain medications may influence how the body absorbs, metabolizes, uses, stores, or excretes specific nutrients. The strength of evidence varies by medication and nutrient.
No. A medication-nutrient relationship is a documented possibility, not a personal diagnosis. Only a healthcare professional, often with laboratory testing, can determine whether an individual is deficient.
No. MyDeficiencies is educational. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Always discuss findings with a qualified healthcare professional.
Never stop or change a prescription based on an educational report. Medication decisions belong with your prescribing clinician.
Supplement decisions require individual context, including your labs, diet, other medications, and health history. Discuss any new supplement with a qualified professional first.
Where available, reports reference peer-reviewed literature and clinical pharmacology sources. Evidence strength is communicated alongside each finding.
Reports are generated from a structured knowledge base that maps medications and supplements to supported nutrient relationships, mechanisms, and evidence. Findings are then organized by priority and body system.
Yes. Reports are designed to make conversations with your healthcare provider clearer and more productive.
Important: A medication-nutrient relationship does not confirm that an individual is deficient. Only a qualified healthcare professional can make that determination.
