Though zinc is most commonly discussed in terms of it’s immune-boosting function, there’s also a lot of interest in it for skin health.

Though I’ve touched on zinc before on the Healthy Skin Show, I want to spend some time diving deeper into its benefits as well as problems with over-supplementation.

I plan on exploring zinc over the course of several episodes, so stayed tuned as we dive deeper in the coming weeks.

For now, I’d like to share with you why you absolutely need zinc if you’ve got rashes, hair loss and other health issues going on!

In this episode:

Why zinc is so important for your body
Does your body make zinc?
Where zinc is stored in your body
Skin rash conditions and symptoms helped by zinc
Best food sources for zinc
Why you shouldn’t take zinc with calcium
Drugs that deplete zinc (hint: one is topical steroids)
How much is too much zinc (and why too much is a bad thing!)

Quotes:

Zinc is an important antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-itch nutrient needed for over 300 enzymes in your body.

Steroids (including those which are used topically) + other common medications can cause zinc deficiency.
