GlossaryMalabsorption

condition where nutrients aren't properly absorbed in intestines

Malabsorption is a condition where the small intestine cannot properly absorb nutrients, vitamins, and minerals from food. This can lead to deficiencies and various health issues, including weight loss, fatigue, and hair loss, as the body is deprived of essential nutrients needed for overall health and hair growth.
