In this video, we’re going to talk about the one type of food with the highest concentration of zinc in the world.

The #1 best source of zinc is oysters. Oysters are loaded with bio-available zinc. Red meat, fish, and pumpkin seeds also contain some zinc.

25% of people are deficient in zinc. Zinc is a mineral that isn’t stored in the body—this means that you have to consume zinc-rich foods regularly to maintain sufficient zinc levels.

A zinc deficiency is difficult to diagnose—blood tests often won’t reveal a zinc deficiency. Only long-term zinc deficiencies will show up on tests.

Zinc deficiency symptoms include:
• Decreases lymphocytes
• Enlarged spleen
• Decreased response to pathogens
• Thymus atrophy
• Increased duration of infection
• Increases susceptibility to infection
• Loss of taste/smell
• Decreased wound healing.
• Low testosterone
• Increased inflammation

Aside from not consuming enough zinc-rich foods, you may also be low on zinc due to:
• Phytates (found in grains)
• Sugar
• Stress
• Infection
• Antacids (Stomach acidity helps zinc absorption)
• Malabsorption
• Liver damage
• Diabetes
• Vegan diets
