What Does It Really Mean to Be Mineral Deficient and How Can CENTRED Help?

If you’ve been feeling tired, dealing with thinning hair, or struggling with skin breakouts, there’s a good chance your body is trying to tell you something. One of the most overlooked but common reasons? Mineral deficiency.

Why Minerals Matter More Than You Think

Minerals are essential micronutrients your body needs in small amounts, but they have big jobs. They help:

  • Regulate hormones
  • Support energy production
  • Strengthen hair and nails
  • Maintain healthy skin and immune function
  • Combat the effects of stress

Unlike vitamins, your body can’t produce minerals, so you must get them from food or supplementation. And in today’s world, it’s easier than ever to fall short.

Common Causes of Mineral Deficiency

Even with a “healthy” diet, you can still become deficient due to:

  • Depleted soil reducing mineral content in food
  • High stress (which uses up minerals like magnesium and zinc)
  • Digestive issues (like low stomach acid or IBS) affecting absorption
  • Hormonal shifts such as pregnancy, postpartum and menopause
  • Medications, especially hormonal contraceptives or antacids

What Does Deficiency Look Like?

Subtle signs can include:

  • Brittle or thinning hair
  • Increased hair shedding
  • Skin issues (acne, eczema, dullness)
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Brain fog
  • Poor sleep or mood swings

These aren’t just cosmetic problems, they’re signals from your body that deeper systems need support.

What’s Inside Tender Love and Hair, And Why It Works

Our award-winning Tender Love and Hair formula goes far beyond a basic multivitamin. It combines key minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and probiotics that work in harmony to support the hair growth cycle, boost scalp health, and replenish what modern life often depletes.

🧪 Zinc (as Zinc Citrate)
A crucial trace mineral for:

Hair tissue growth and repair

Hormonal balance (which directly impacts the hair cycle)

Regulating oil production in the scalp

Immune function and skin clarity
Zinc deficiency is strongly linked to hair thinning and shedding, especially in women.

🩸 Iron (as Iron Citrate)
Essential for:

Oxygen transport to hair follicles

Red blood cell production

Combating fatigue and postnatal depletion
Low iron (especially ferritin) is one of the most common causes of hair loss in women.

🛡 Selenium (as Selenium Methionine)
A powerful antioxidant mineral that:

Protects cells (including hair follicles) from oxidative damage

Supports thyroid function, which regulates hair growth

Works synergistically with Vitamin E and Zinc

🌿 Seaweed (Fucus Vesiculosus)
A rich natural source of trace minerals like iodine, magnesium, and calcium:

Supports thyroid health and metabolism

Helps regulate hormone production

Provides bioavailable mineral content in a wholefood form

While not minerals, these synergistic nutrients dramatically enhance absorption and hair-specific benefits:

🌱 Bamboo Extract (natural silica source)
Silica supports collagen production, skin elasticity, and stronger strands

Strengthens the connective tissue around hair follicles

🌞 Vitamin C (Calcium Ascorbate)
Aids in iron absorption

Powerful antioxidant protecting follicles from free radical damage

Supports collagen synthesis

🧬 Amino Acids: N-Acetyl Cysteine, L-Methionine, L-Lysine
Building blocks of keratin, the protein your hair is made of

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) boosts glutathione, a master antioxidant

Lysine supports iron uptake and reduces shedding

🌿 Aloe Vera 200x Concentrate
Calms and soothes the digestive tract

Supports nutrient absorption and gut health

🌿 Probiotic: Lactobacillus Reuteri
Supports gut-skin-hair axis

Helps with nutrient absorption, immune modulation and inflammation control

These minerals are blended with essential amino acids, adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha, vitamins like Biotin, Folate and B-complex, and gut-friendly probiotics to create a full-spectrum formula that nourishes your hair, skin, nails—and whole system.
