Zinc deficiency - causes, symptoms, effects
Zinc is one of the basic minerals in the daily diet, the deficiency of which may lead to serious consequences in terms of disturbing the optimal health. What could be the cause of this? Which symptoms indicate this condition and what should be done to neutralise the effects ?
What are the causes of zinc deficiency?
It is not difficult to guess that the absence of a varied diet is one of the key causes of zinc deficiency. This element is found primarily in animal products (fish, eggs, liver, oysters and meat), in slightly smaller quantities in mushrooms (e.g. oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, shitake), some legumes, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and tofu. Enrichment of the nutritional plan with these foods will significantly help to maintain optimal levels of this element.
Zinc deficiency also results from a number of other factors. Among the various causes of zinc deficiency in the diet, one should mention:
- consumption of large quantities of processed and sugar-rich products that support the decomposition of zinc,
- the progressive aging process and the accompanying physiological decline in zinc levels,
- excessive physical activity and insufficient fluid replenishment,
- alcohol abuse,
- absorption disorders.
What are the symptoms of zinc deficiency?
The first signals indicating zinc deficiency in the daily diet are excessive brittleness and loss of hair, deterioration of the immune function, as well as a noticeable decrease in appetite. The persistence of the condition and lack of proper management will result in the appearance of further symptoms , which may prove more troublesome. Among them the following can be mentioned:
- acne,
- lower libido,
- excessive sweating,
- increased desire for sweets,
- mood drop that causes apathy,
- deterioration in concentration and memory,
- increased susceptibility to respiratory infections.
The effects of zinc deficiency - is supplementation a good choice?
Long-term persistence of a zinc deficiency may prove to have serious consequences for normal health. In some cases, a balanced and varied diet is insufficient to increase the zinc level. It is then worth choosing supplements that will allow you to replenish it quickly.
A good solution is a product of the Olimp Laboratories pharmaceutical company called CYNKoVir™ Immuno . These are lozenges, which enable supplementing the daily diet with an optimal dose of zinc in highly assimilable forms of Albion® amino acid chelate and gluconate. Each lozenge contains a portion of as much as 15 mg of the element which may prove to be a valuable support on many levels, e.g. it maintains an optimal concentration of testosterone in blood, protects the cells against oxidative stress and supports maintaining a proper acid-base balance. The product was developed in modern laboratories of the Olimp Laboratories pharmaceutical company together with the use of innovative production technologies, which guarantees a high quality of the supplement.
