The first signs of zinc deficiency are
impairment of taste, a poor immune response and skin problems. Other symptoms of
zinc deficiency can include hair loss, diarrhoea, fatigue, delayed wound
healing, and decreased growth rate and mental development in infants. It is
thought that zinc supplementation can help skin conditions such as acne and
eczema, prostate problems, anorexia nervosa, alcoholics and those suffering from
trauma or post-surgery.
