Tag: Type 1 nutrients

A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get a specific nutrient in the required amount. In the case of what are type 1 nutrients, this inadequacy leads to the depletion of body stores, followed by the appearance of specific, characteristic clinical signs.

According to research published by the Emergency Nutrition Network, nutrients can be classified as type 1 or type 2 based on the body's physiological response to a dietary deficiency. This model, developed by nutritionist Michael Golden, offers a deeper understanding beyond the common macronutrient and micronutrient categories by focusing on how the body manages a lack of specific nutrients and the resulting clinical signs.
