Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. I tested severely deficient in zinc yesterday. I don't quite remember the unit, but the normal range is 1.6-2.0, and my level was only 0.44, which is too low. I don't know if I can take those zinc supplements, such as yeast zinc. What kind of assistance do you need: verification from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Eat glucose zinc and other zinc supplements.Advice: It is recommended to try taking oral zinc gluconate. Avoid consuming MSG and chicken essence, as they can easily lead to zinc deficiency. They may increase zinc excretion. In the absence of digestive issues, pay attention to avoiding picky eating.
Foods rich in zinc include oysters, malt, followed by lean meat, egg yolks, fish, milk, walnuts, peanuts, sesame, kelp, animal liver, etc. As long as you eat more of these foods regularly, the body will never experience zinc deficiency again. Even if you are already deficient in zinc, it will be replenished quickly.
