Nutritionist Agarwal discusses 3 nutrient deficiencies that might be responsible for bad breath. Here are those 3 nutrient deficiencies you must look out for if you are experiencing bad breath:

1. Vitamin D



Nutritionist Agarwal discusses, “Jaw & teeth are made from bone and vitamin D is required for strong bones! Vit D deficiency can cause fractures & loose teeth.. further causes bad breath!” In fact, With age, those who do not consume enough vitamin D or who are vitamin D deficient experience a loss of taste and smell. Due to their gradual progression and deteriorating abilities with age, individuals might not notice the sign right away.

2. Vitamin C



“One of the most prominent symptoms is bleeding gums+ leading to bad breath!” When it comes to vitamin C deficiency mentions Nutritionist Agarwal. In fact, vitamin C restores mouth tissues. It can be found in kale, broccoli, berries, and citrus fruits.
