Pay attention to zinc deficiency

The World Health Organization reports that zinc deficiency affects a significant portion of the global population. Low zinc levels may be associated with growth concerns, cognitive challenges, or perinatal complications.

Zinc deficiency may be more common among premature infants, individuals with low birth weight, pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with unbalanced diets, digestive issues (such as chronic diarrhea or irritable bowel conditions), anemia, individuals over 65, or those who frequently use antibiotics.

People following strict vegetarian diets may also be more prone to zinc deficiency, as phytates found in grains and vegetables can reduce zinc absorption.

Lower zinc levels may also be observed in individuals with excessive alcohol consumption, diabetes, those undergoing dialysis, people living with HIV, individuals with malabsorption syndromes, or rheumatoid arthritis.

What are the symptoms of zinc deficiency?

Zinc deficiency can affect multiple systems, including the immune, gastrointestinal, skeletal, reproductive, dermatological, and nervous systems.

1. Weakened immunity

Zinc is essential for maintaining a strong and balanced immune system. It plays an important role in:

• Supporting the growth and differentiation of T-cells, key white blood cells involved in the body’s defense against external threats.
• Regulating apoptosis (programmed cell death), an important natural process that helps the body manage damaged or harmful cells.
• Supporting genetic transcription, the first step in gene expression.
• Helping maintain the protective function of cellular membranes.
• Acting as a key structural component of numerous hormone receptors and proteins involved in overall health, mental balance, and immune function.

2. Food and environmental sensitivities

Chronic stress may contribute to nutrient imbalances, including lower levels of calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which can influence histamine balance in the body. Zinc plays an important role in supporting normal histamine metabolism.

Because zinc is involved in histamine regulation, low zinc levels may be associated with increased histamine release. Elevated histamine levels can contribute to symptoms commonly linked with sensitivities or allergic reactions, such as nasal congestion or runny nose, breathing discomfort, or skin reactions. Maintaining adequate zinc intake supports overall immune balance and helps the body manage histamine responses more effectively.

3. Hair thinning or hair loss

You have probably heard about the link between zinc deficiency and hair loss. Low zinc levels have been associated with thyroid imbalance, which may contribute to hair thinning, fragile hair strands, or alopecia. Research suggests that thyroid hormones play an important role in zinc metabolism and absorption. In some cases, addressing hair health concerns may involve supporting adequate zinc intake alongside overall nutritional balance, rather than relying solely on thyroid hormone support.

4. Intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”)

Altered intestinal permeability has been discussed as a possible factor associated with various health concerns, including malabsorption, skin issues, sensitivities, autoimmune conditions, or thyroid imbalances. In functional medicine approaches, zinc supplementation is sometimes considered as part of nutritional strategies aimed at supporting intestinal barrier integrity, including in individuals with Crohn’s disease, under professional guidance.

5. Attention and neurological function

Low zinc status has been associated with attention difficulties and certain motor challenges in children, which may continue into adulthood. A study published in 1998 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggested that zinc supplementation, even at about 50% of the recommended daily intake, may help support attention and cognitive performance.

6. Acne or skin eruptions

Some individuals may experience skin concerns, rashes, or even acne in the context of low zinc levels. Research suggests that zinc deficiency has been associated with slower wound healing and various skin-related issues, highlighting the role of zinc in supporting normal skin health.

Zinc 25 is a dietary supplement.

Food supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach and sight of young children.
