- Standard blood panels measure plasma concentration, which reflects only a tiny fraction of total body micronutrient stores. — Why Clean Eaters Still Feel Tired: The Micronutrient Gap
- Iron is a notable exception among micronutrients in that it is meaningfully tracked through serum ferritin. — Why Clean Eaters Still Feel Tired: The Micronutrient Gap
- The body sacrifices nutrient stores in tissues and organs to maintain blood concentrations within a normal reference range. — Why Clean Eaters Still Feel Tired: The Micronutrient Gap
