Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency can lead to fatigue, muscle pain and weakness. B vitamins (especially B6, B9 and B12): They play an essential role in energy metabolism. A deficiency can lead to fatigue, anemia, weakness and nervous disorders. Iron: Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency can lead to iron deficiency anemia, one of the main symptoms of which is fatigue. Magnesium: It is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, many of which are related to energy production. Magnesium deficiency can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, cramps, etc. Iodine: Essential for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism. A deficiency can slow metabolism, leading to fatigue and feelings of cold. Vitamin C: Although severe deficiency (resulting in scurvy) is rare in developed countries, moderate vitamin C deficiency can cause fatigue. Calcium: Involved in muscle contraction and energy production. A deficiency can contribute to fatigue, although it is less common.
