Zinc a vital mineral......Billions of humans may be zinc deficient! Are you?

Zinc - a vital mineral used in many bodily functions. It's exact specific function is not fully understood but zinc is present in most cells and plays a major role with the activity of enzymes.

Trace elementssuch as Zincare needed by our bodies in very small quantitiesbut if we fail to maintain a sufficient trace level of Zinc in our bodies we will suffer, with possibly serious consequences

Like all minerals we should be able to get sufficient Zinc to maintain good body function from the food we eat. Unfortunately food grown in Zinc deficient soil WILL be Zinc deficient itself. If we eat Zinc deficient food WE WILL BE ZINC DEFICIENT.......it's that simple!

What is modern soil like? As I have mentioned before modern intensive farming, pollution and the incessant processing of our food reduces the mineral content, including zinc to deficient levels.

Symptoms of Zinc deficiency:

There is quite a long list. It's amazing the things this "trace mineral" gets involved in.

Skin, Hair and Nail problems including but not limited to:

Wound healing, acne, eczema, hair loss, weak and blotchy nails

Eating disorders, including loss of appetite, even annorexiaand general metabolism

Loss of taste & smell (Possibly the easiest way to test for zinc deficiency)

Allergies

Sex drive impairment or complete loss of sex drive

Low / reducedfertility

Possible pregnancy complications

Menstrual cycle disruption

Immune system impairment

Link to Diabetes and Arthritis

Zinc deficiency has also been linked to behavioural problems

This is not an exhaustive list and as you know the medical field is constantly shifting in its opinions. Suffice to say that Zinc is very important and if we are zinc deficient we will suffer to some degree, possibly seriously.

There are a number of ways to test whether you are zinc deficient from a "Home Taste test" involving zinc sulphate in water to more complex laboratory tests your Doctor should be able to advise on.

If you think you might be zinc deficient you will first of all NOT be alone and secondly you should get tested. If you are deficient do not dispare, deficiencies can be rectified.

A good Mineral supplement that includes Zinc could be all you need for better health.
