Today we’re going to talk about zinc. I want to cover the key zinc deficiency causes and the things that can help increase your absorption of zinc. I believe zinc is probably one of the most important trace minerals. Over 2 billion people are at least somewhat deficient in zinc.
The big problem with zinc is that we don’t store zinc very well. So, unless you’re consuming it every day, you could end up having a zinc deficiency.
Zinc can affect:
• The reproductive organs
• Skin health
• The immune system
Here are a couple of things that can decrease the absorption of zinc:
• Too much calcium
• Too much iron
• Excessive amounts of copper
• Phytates (bran, rice, grains, corn)
• Cadmium
• Casein
• Gut damage
• A lot of tannins
• A lot of sulfites
• Infection
• Refined sugar
• Stress
Here are a couple of things that can increase the absorption of zinc:
• Strong stomach acid
• Enough protein
• Red meat
• Shellfish (especially oysters)
• Nuts/Seeds
• Cheese
The amount of zinc you should consider getting per day is 8-13 mg.
