Zinc is one of the essential trace elements for metabolism. As a component of a large number of enzymes, it fulfills various functions in the body. Among other things, it contributes to the normal synthesis of DNA, cognitive functions, lipid metabolism, vitamin A metabolism, protein synthesis, maintenance of bones, hair, nails, skin and vision, function of the immune system and protection of cells from oxidative stress. In the diet, zinc is mainly found in meat, cheese, oatmeal and nuts. An estimated 2 billion people worldwide are zinc deficient. Zinc deficiency can have adverse effects on the normal functioning of hair, skin and nails, among other things. Zinc deficiency can lead to hypofunction of the gonads, growth disorders and anemia. A low zinc level can manifest itself in reduced immune function, hair loss, dry skin and brittle nails. Like zinc, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), B6 (pyridoxine), E (tocopherol) and C (ascorbic acid) are essential substances that the body needs for its normal function. Since the body cannot synthesize vitamins itself to meet its needs, they must be ingested with food. Like zinc, vitamins D3, B6 and C play an important role in the normal functioning of the immune system. Vitamin E acts as a lipid-soluble antioxidant and helps protect cells from damage caused by oxidation. A vitamin D deficiency can have various adverse effects on the organism.

Frequently asked questions

Can you overdose on zinc?

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the safe upper limit for daily zinc intake is 25 mg zinc per day. If the limit is significantly exceeded, undesirable side effects such as abdominal pain, nausea or diarrhea can occur.
Depending on the diet, the German Society for Nutrition (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 7-10 mg zinc for women and 11-16 mg zinc for men.
Zinc deficiency can often result from insufficient intake of zinc from the diet. This is especially true with a vegetarian or vegan diet. In addition, an increased zinc requirement, such as during pregnancy or breastfeeding, can lead to a deficiency. Zinc deficiency can also be caused by high levels of copper or iron, since these are antagonists of zinc and thus reduce the body's absorption of zinc. This can be the case with a high copper content in drinking water or when taking medication containing iron. Another cause of zinc deficiency can be the increased intake of phytic acid through food. Foods containing phytic acid are mainly whole grains, pseudo-grains such as buckwheat, seeds, legumes and nuts. Phytic acid can form bonds with zinc, which means that the body can no longer access the zinc as easily.
