Zinc is a trace mineral essential for immune function, wound healing, protein synthesis, and cell division. It also plays a role in taste and smell perception. Zinc deficiency can impair immune function, slow wound healing, cause hair loss, and reduce testosterone levels in men. Groups at higher risk for deficiency include vegetarians, pregnant women, and people with digestive disorders.
Measures plasma zinc — essential for immune function, wound healing, taste/smell, and male reproductive health.
Anyone with frequent infections, slow wound healing, hair loss, taste/smell changes, vegetarians/vegans, or men investigating low testosterone (zinc deficiency suppresses T).
