How to increase dietary zinc intake (with searchable foods list)

Cute bacteria with a diagram of the immune system behind it, in a special bug lab

Zinc is an essential nutrient required for growth, tissue repair and the immune system. Zinc is a critical part of enzymes and plays an important role in cellular growth and tissue differentiation​1,2​.

The body cannot store zinc, which means dietary intake is required. Times of high zinc need include childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy​2​.

Zinc is the most abundant element after iron, with good sources of zinc including beef, chicken/poultry, dairy (cheese), and legumes and grains. Zinc deficiency is a huge issue, affecting a third of humans, particularly those in developing countries, and can result in death.​3​

But in Western countries with a stable, abundant food supply, zinc deficiency is also common, but may appear as subclinical zinc deficiency rather than overt zinc deficiency.

Suboptimal zinc levels can result in many areas of lowered function of various systems, from lowered immunity to poor wound healing abilities.

At the My Vagina clinic, we see many ‘mystery’ or nonspecific symptoms improve in patients with suboptimal zinc levels. These include chronic bacterial vaginosis to vulvar dermatitis symptoms.

Factors that inhibit zinc absorption

Iron, tin, phytate in cereals and legumes, and soy protein inhibit zinc absorption​4,5​.

Optimal zinc levels and testing

Lab reference ranges of zinc are around 11-22 umol/L (72-144 μg/dL), with optimal levels being 16-17 umol/L (105-111 μg/dL).

Plasma zinc is a more sensitive test than serum zinc. Always do zinc tests in a fasting state, as zinc levels will rise in a fed state.

Best zinc supplement type and dose

A more bioavailable type of zinc to supplement with is zinc picolinate​6​. A reasonable guide is to supplement with 25mg for three months, then retest.

If results are still lower than optimal, or the starting point is very low, increase the dose up to 50mg daily, then retest after three months. Zinc supplementation may be required as underlying health concerns are addressed.

Avoid taking zinc with iron supplements or tin, as they both inhibit zinc absorption​5​. Test zinc alongside copper to test for ratios – they should be about equal, with zinc winning a little bit.

Increase zinc-rich foods. While not everyone has access to high-quality fresh seafood, as a marker, oysters have up to 10 times the zinc of a piece of steak!
