What to eat when zinc is deficient

1. Animal foods high in zinc include: lean meat, pork liver, fish, and egg yolks, among which oysters contain the highest amount of zinc. According to laboratory tests, animal foods generally contain more zinc, about 3-5 mg of zinc in every 100 grams of animal food. In addition, the amino acids produced by the decomposition of animal protein can also promote the absorption of zinc.

3. Zinc supplement products: When supplementing zinc, you must choose the third-generation zinc protein zinc (such as Xin Xibao Zinc Selenium). Because it is a third-generation zinc supplement product, it supplements protein zinc. The zinc element uses protein as a carrier, is highly active, and is very beneficial for gastrointestinal absorption without any gastrointestinal irritation (organic zinc and inorganic zinc such as zinc gluconate and zinc sulfate are all compounds, which have varying degrees of irritation to the human gastrointestinal tract, and long-term use is not recommended).
