Some known dietary sources of Zinc include oysters, red and poultry. However, it may be difficult to get adequate amounts of this nutrient from a diet alone.

A zinc deficiency is characterized by: 

• Appetite and weight loss
• Delayed healing of wounds 
• Impaired immune system function 

In more severe cases, zinc deficiency causes hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation, impotence, hypogonadism in males, and eye and skin lesions.
 

People at risk for zinc deficiency include:

• Athletes who lose a lot of zinc through sweat 
• Seniors who do not consume enough zinc due to loss of appetite and reduced absorption of vitamins and minerals 
• Vegans who have reduced absorption of zinc in the small intestine, because their plant-based diet absorbs a lot of phytic acid, which forms insoluble compounds with zinc
• People who are taking diuretics as it increases zinc excretion 
• Individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases since this impairs zinc absorption alongside the activity of the pancreas
   

The ideal dose of Pharex E-Zinc EZTab depends on a person’s age:
