Let’s talk about zinc and how much zinc you should consume. In my opinion, zinc is the most important trace mineral. 

Daily values for zinc:
• Adults — 8-15mg 
• 14-18 yrs. — 9-11mg
• 4-8 yrs. — 5mg 
• 7 mo.-3 yrs. — 3mg 
• 0-6mo. — 2mg

The body doesn’t store zinc. If you’re not consuming zinc, you’ll be deficient. Many things can also prevent the absorption of zinc. 

Things that prevent zinc absorption:
• Phytates 
• GI issues 
• Vegetarian diet 
• Alcohol 
• Infection 

Best sources of zinc:
• Animal meats 
• Oysters 
• Shellfish 
• Liver 
• Eggs 

Copper and zinc work together. If you increase your zinc too much, you deplete copper. Most of the symptoms of zinc toxicity are symptoms of copper deficiency. These symptoms could include numbness, tingling, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. 

If you’re going to take zinc for a longer period of time or in large amounts, you may want to take it in a blend of other trace minerals, especially copper. This may help you avoid symptoms of zinc toxicity. 

If you’re deficient in zinc, you’re going through an infection, or you have GI issues, you may want to consider taking large amounts of zinc—even up to 200mg-250mg of zinc per day as a short-term solution. Taking larger amounts can help bypass barriers when it comes to absorption. 

Symptoms of a zinc deficiency:
• Impaired growth 
• Erectile dysfunction 
• Diarrhea 
• Hair loss 
• Swollen tongue 
• Lowered immunity 
• Loss of test and smell 
• Loss of appetite
