SMALL BUT MIGHTY

Zinc is a trace mineral that plays a vital role in many aspects of human health. These processes include growth, immunity, and reproduction.
It helps the body produce and regulate many hormones including testosterone. Some studies have shown a link between not having enough zinc and erectile dysfunction (ED).
Zinc is vital to the development and function of the male sex organs.
Males with zinc deficiency have been shown to have less developed testes and reduced sperm count.
Zinc helps produce key sex hormones, such as testosterone and prolactin. Zinc also enables the creation of the main component of prostatic fluid.

There is evidence that dietary zinc may impact male sexual competency.

A 2016 study also found that zinc improved the ejaculatory control of those affected by premature ejaculation.

All you need to know about zinc deficiency

Zinc does many things in the body.

Zinc supports cell function, helping an estimated 100 enzymes — molecules that make chemical reactions happen — perform their duties.

Zinc plays additional roles in the body, including:

👉 boosting immune function
👉 helping cells divide and maintaining the sense of smell and taste
👉 promoting wound healing
👉 Zinc also supports a person's growth and development. As such, it is an essential mineral for pregnant women as well as growing children.

Pregnant and lactating women
Pregnant women, particularly those starting their pregnancy with marginal zinc status, are at increased risk of becoming zinc insufficient due to high fetal requirements for zinc. Lactation can also deplete maternal zinc stores. For these reasons, the RDA for zinc is higher for pregnant and lactating women than for other women.

A person's body does not store zinc, which means getting enough of the mineral from food/nutritional supplements is important in preventing a deficiency.

Symptoms of zinc deficiency

Symptoms of zinc deficiency tend to be linked to the roles that zinc performs in the body. Some of the most common zinc deficiency symptoms include:

👉 appetite loss
👉 slower than expected growth
👉 poor immune system function

Severe zinc deficiency can cause even more concerning symptoms. Examples include:

👉 delayed sexual maturity
👉 diarrhea
👉 eye and skin lesions
👉 feeling lethargic
👉 hair loss
👉 poor wound healing
👉 unexplained weight loss
👉 Men and boys can also experience impotence and hypogonadism, which is when a male's body does not produce enough testosterone.

In the case of zinc deficiency, apart from a well-balanced diet (which is hard to be found), nutritional supplementation is very helpful.
