Zinc is an essential element required for human health, being utilized for nearly 100 different enzymes for a wide variety of functions, including developmental, reproductive and immune system functioning. Zinc deficiency can occur through several mechanisms, including reduced dietary intake, reduced absorption, increased utilization and increased losses. In this lesson, we discuss these causes in more detail, along with signs and symptoms of zinc deficiency (including anxiety, depression, skin lesions like acne, and hair loss), how it is diagnosed and how it is treated.

I’ve suffered form decades without knowing what was wrong with me. I went to multiple doctors and specialists and they knew nothing. After going down a rabbit hole of learning online, I literally figured out on my own issue… I was zinc deficient and now I’m back to normal.

Not once has a Dr said I should eat this or do that. All they do is write prescriptions that have all kinds of side effects. Never have they said take vitiams

I'm preparing for MRCP part 2 exam and this video helped a lot to remember features of Zinc deficiency that I'm always mixing up with other nutrients deficiency. Thanks for the marvellous video
-
Great work. Thank you for your interesting explanation.
-
Personally I would like to add one serious problem and clinical point linked to my zinc deficiency. After 20 years of lack of sweating combined with overheating and unpleasant flu like symptoms after heat exposition. Luckily after a zinc deficiency treatment for night blindness quality of life was found after 20 years no doctor would recognise the heat problem and lack of sweating.
-
Great information! Gratitude!

It's a misconception that vegetarians have zinc deficiency. I am a vegetarian and do a no gluten diet and since then I have not been sick and it's been 4 years. There are foods high in zinc that are not of animal source such as grains like brown rice, buckwheat, quinoa, nuts such as walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds. Beans, legumes and lentils. Seafood would be another good one but it's high in mercury.

Thx. Immune system delicate.
-
Reduced absorption can also be caused by age and diseases such as diabetes, both effect small intestine function and is common cause of zinc deficiency.
-
Calcium is highly overrated. Zinc is strictly better
-
The condition Pyroluria suggests up to 10% of the population have a genetic inability to absorb zinc. This plus low vitamin b6 inhibit the production of serotonin causing immune and high anxiety issues. It’s worth researching and discussing with a naturopath. I found great results by taking activated b6 ( P5P) and zinc picolinate
-
can you suggets natural sources of zinc, rather than the drug/pill forms?
-
