This mineral is used by the body to produce cells and keep you healthy. A primary source of zinc is red meat, but don’t despair, because zinc is found in eggs, nuts, yogurt, grains and cooked oysters.
Alcohol, diuretics, and antibiotics have a detrimental effect on zinc. Taking too much calcium also impairs zinc absorption.
Hair loss, depression, appetite loss, rashes and decreased immune response are all signs of zinc deficiency.
The recommended daily allowance of zinc is 15-30 mg.
Great info on zinc, keep up the great work!
