Zinc deficiency indicates the presence of inflammation.

It is a sign that inflammation pathways are active.

Neuro-inflammation in the brain triggers other problems directly related to behavioral disorders seen in autism.

Selenium deficiency indicates the presence of oxidative stress.

It is a sign that oxidative stress pathways are active.

Oxidative stress in the brain causes the release and increase of free radicals (FR) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are responsible for a series of damages that negatively affect neuron cells, from irregularities and disorders in signal transmission systems to disorders in cell membranes and myelin sheaths of neuron cells.

The consequences of the deficiencies of these trace elements are much more significant than the deficiencies themselves.
