Australian women are experiencing a silent epidemic of fatigue and illness linked to iron and vitamin D deficiencies, with over 20% of Australians affected. Women, particularly those aged 14-18, are more susceptible due to menstruation and higher iron needs. Early testing is crucial, as symptoms often go unnoticed and are mistaken for stress or lifestyle changes. Experts emphasize the importance of addressing these deficiencies promptly to avoid severe health impacts.
