    Cardio to lose fat. What vitamins are generally deficient?

    This is probably a question that has been asked but this site is massive now and I don't feel like weeding through all the threads. I've been running 1-1.5hr every other day for the past month. I've been trying to just eat common sense healthy foods(and my wife is a nurse that's nuts about nutrition) to lose weight. What nutrients are the most commonly deficient when doing high amounts of cardio? I'm planning on ramping it up to 1-1.5 every day since I'll be doing a few 5ks. I'm not a professional or anything of the sort. I just want my body to be able to recover so I can keep going and not lose motivation. I know potassium is important but I'm fairly ignorant on anything else. I used to just take "substances" and eat crappy foods when I lifted a lot a few years ago when I was a dumbass. Now I'm interested in doing my body some good. Any articles or suggestions? Thanks

    Iodine, Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin E and Selenium I would say are the most common deficiencies for active people with a "healthy" diet.

    If you are interested I recommend reading this:

    And table for deficiencies and rate:

    and the full study:
