Talking Points From Dr. Nazarenko on
Zinc and Its Health Benefits:

    • Zinc’s rising popularity. Zinc seems to be growing in popularity—or at least is discussed more in the mainstream—likely because it is commonly found in foods and/or relatively inexpensive supplements to purchase if needed. It is a natural mineral. Common foods with zinc include meat, shellfish, legumes, seed & nuts, and dairy. Because these are staples in many people’s diets, it’s natural to talk supplementation when one is missing (e.g., in the case of a vegan diet).

    • What it does & benefits. Zinc is a natural mineral that our body needs for survival. There are numerous benefits of zinc. At a basic level, it is involved in the function of hundreds of enzymes and metabolic processes in your body—having both direct and indirect effects on health (in fact, it plays a role in >300 different enzymes and >1000 transcription factors!). Primary functions of zinc include the metabolism of nutrients, the repair of cells and tissues, and immunity support. Zinc is also important for sensory organs—especially your sense of taste and smell—and fertility as well.

    • Infections and bolstering immunity. Zinc is beneficial for immune health. This is partly due to the antioxidant properties, which help reduce inflammation and therefore protect against chronic diseases. One study of older adults showed that zinc gluconate (taken over a year) reduced several markers of inflammation and reduced infection frequency. Another study shows that zinc may reduce common colds by up to 33% and could be considered in the treatment of common colds.
