Description
Zinc is called the element of health and beauty for a reason. This microelement plays an important role in many processes occurring in the body. It affects not only our appearance but is also an integral part of the hormonal and immune systems. It’s no surprise that when the body lacks this element, it starts to “protest.”
Zinc is one of the microelements essential for the proper functioning of the body. It is necessary for the activity of more than 200 different enzymes, including those involved in protein and DNA synthesis. It is also responsible for proper cell division. For this reason, zinc is particularly important for fetal development (it may, for example, help prevent neural tube defects). Zinc also plays a role in maintaining normal blood plasma vitamin A levels, which is crucial for healthy vision.
This trace element helps maintain healthy hair, nails, and skin, therefore playing a key role in keeping a healthy appearance. Visible signs of zinc deficiency may include skin imperfections or weak nails and/or hair that loses shine and becomes brittle. Zinc is essential for many hormones, such as growth hormone and gonadotropins.
Zinc also contributes to maintaining normal testosterone levels in the blood, as well as supporting normal fertility and reproduction.
Zinc is mainly supplied to the body through diet. The richest sources include calf, pork, and poultry liver, seafood (such as oysters and crabs), legumes, whole-grain bread, pumpkin seeds, nuts, eggs, rennet cheeses, meat (especially red meat), and groats. People at higher risk of zinc deficiency include those on low-calorie diets, vegetarians, people who consume a lot of sweets, pregnant women, the elderly, and children.
In the case of zinc deficiency, along with a well-balanced diet, supplementation may be helpful.
