Deficiencies in these or any other nutrient can lead to elevated or sustained levels of pain and inflammation. As with all nutrients, acquiring these through food is ALWAYS the best option, as nutrients are co-dependent. Because they must be eaten in certain combinations to have full effect, multi-vitamins are NOT the best option for obtaining these nutrients because a large percentage of those minerals have to compete with each other, causing only minuscule amounts to actually be absorbed.
