Abstract
Micronutrient deficiencies, a synonym of hidden hunger,1 is a form of malnutrition that occurs due to low intake and absorption of micronutrients and vitamins, such as iron, iodine, zinc, and vitamin A. Such deficiencies affect sustained good health, including physical and cognitive bodily functions. The impairments caused by micronutrient deficiencies might be initially unnoticeable but can advance to significant implications and sometimes irreparable losses. Children, adolescents, and pregnant women are at a greater risk, as the demands during these stages of life are higher.
