How to Improve Zinc Balance

  1. For Deficiency
    1. Increase dietary intake: Foods rich in zinc include meat, shellfish (like oysters), beans, nuts, whole grains, and dairy.
    2. Supplement wisely: Zinc supplements can help, but they should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional to avoid over-supplementation.
    3. Address underlying issues: Treat conditions that impair zinc absorption, such as gut disorders.
  2. For Excess Zinc
    1. Reduce supplement use if over-supplementation is identified.
    2. Evaluate and treat medical conditions contributing to high zinc loss.
