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, while my level was only 0.44—there's a huge difference. I don't know if I can take those zinc supplements, like yeast zinc, for assistance. I need the doctor's verification.Doctor's answer:
Taking supplements like gluconate zinc.Advice: It is recommended to try oral gluconate zinc, avoid msg and chicken essence, as they can easily lead to zinc deficiency. Because they may increase zinc excretion. Pay attention to avoid picky eating if there is no indigestion.
Foods rich in zinc include oysters, malt, followed by lean meat, egg yolks, fish, milk, walnuts, peanuts, sesame, nori, animal liver, etc. As long as you eat more of the above foods regularly, the body will never suffer from zinc deficiency again. Even if zinc deficiency has occurred, it can be replenished quickly.
