Each nutrient depends on other nutrients to be utilized as cofactors.
One nutrient deficiency triggers a chain reaction of a deficiency of utilizable nutrients even if intake of most is adequate.
Underutilized nutrients can lead to nutrient toxicity--especially with iron that feeds inflammation and infections.

A very common pattern of chain reaction of deficiency and toxicity has been identified by Morely Robbins and is explained in his Root Cause Protocol. This is not about about Morely's approach and I go beyond what he said.
First: get potassium and sodium balanced so that you can utilize magnesium.
Magnesium is essential to utilize calcium, which is accumulating in the wrong places in the body. Never take calcium supplements when you are guessing, there is plenty in food usually.
Magnesium plus vitamin A, plus ceruloplasmin, an enzyme in food, not a supplement, enable you to utilize copper.
Copper enables you to utilize iron.
Anemia Can Occur with Iron Toxicity
Lab tests that indicate anemia actually only show iron not being utilized in red blood cells. This does not mean a lack of iron in the diet. It means a lack of nutrients to utilize iron. A fuller blood panel would test for things like the enzyme ferroxidase, which has copper in it to utilize iron.
People misread blood tests because they don't see how all the nutrients work together as a system.
A name for this condition is iron dysregulation, not anemia that implies simple deficiency only. Deficiency and toxicity occur at the same time. Opposites are not inherently exclusive but can imply each other.
Prescribing iron supplements can worsen iron toxicity. What does iron toxicity do? Iron rusts, that’s oxidation. Unutilized iron creates inflammation and pain. Iron also feeds infections. Iron is used by infectious pathogens to construct fortresses against the immune system known as biofilm shields.
People often accumulate iron from food and iron fortified foods like bread that use shards from industry, so this is another source of iron toxicity.
Vitamin A Toxicity and Deficiency
Not discussed by most nutritionists is the cause of vitamin A toxicity in blue light that separates vitamin A from cofactor processes like melanin that absorbs sunlight on the skin to convert photons of light into electrons in the body.
Dr. Jack Kruse discusses this and you can look it up for more detail.
Artificial light is underestimated as a source of toxicity while sunlight is underestimated as a source of nutrients.
