[@bannanaization]

Wow. One of the only doctors who I've ever heard mention the importance of avoiding phytates in regards to zinc absorption

[@zxctgb]

I've heard a couple of others on KZbin, but I agree it's not mentioned enough. I used to consume loads of phytates (and other antinutrients such as oxylates) and definitely had some deficiencies linked to that

[@edithtierce8209]

Why would most mention it when they can offer you a manmade drug instead and get a kickback from the company? It is not in the best interest of most to give us information on ANYTHING considered a natural remedy.

[@horizon-one]

A talented doctor (and teacher). God bless you.

[@mac-ju5ot]

I've had tiny white spots a Dr I once had noticed this. I don't drink but hair loss lately has been a issue

[@sgtaneja]

You need following to absorb Zinc into the tissues at a cellular level :: 1. Active B6 - P5P 2. Vit B12 3. Magnesium 4. Copper ! (intracellular Copper else you'd develop Zinc intolerance) 5. Vit C 6. Bioflavonoids such as Quercetin / Rutin / PAC's Zinc synergies well with certain Amino acids such as Taurine, Methionine, Lysine, Argenine. Hence, Zinc is better consumed with B vitamins & aminos or still better a protein source. Most natural dietry sources of zinc also have Copper. You must have Zinc & copper at seperate times and strive to maintain a 7.5 : 1 ratio. Imbalance in Zinc, copper ratio will create multiple health issues. If you want Zinc, copper, aminos, B vitamins & all Zinc synergistic cofactors try carnivore diet !

Wow! Just what I needed. Just had bloodwork done and I’m deficient in zinc and B6. Watched the B6 video and was blown away about the connection of the two. Also, the connection between zinc and blood sugar. Been looking for this answer for years.

[@fivestarscaliforniarentals6446]

Love this information

[@RaniceF]

Excellent lesson! I'm so grateful for docs like you. As per simptoms of deficiency, I do have losse of smell and taste for over 25 years, my hair is very strong I have way too much hair, nails very strong, as per sleep I can benefit from better sleep, I dont have white spots on the nails, I do get colds very easily. Now my teen daughter: doesn't have any issues with taste and smells, shes losing lots of hair, very brittle hair and soft nails, issues with growth, issues with sleep, white spots on nails, and get every cold and flu around, almost every month.I find her ferritin levels are low, and the doctors dont want to prescribe iron injection. Injection would be the quickest way to get it up faster

I remember taking like 150mg of zinc a day for maybe 2 weeks and i remember my racing mind slowing down lile time slowed down and i had enough to focus without my mind being in a hurry to flip to something else it was nice not to be in a hurry and nice to have time to notice things and read bumper stickers and wonder what the person in the car i met was going, i have had ADD all my life and my brain is in a hurry and it never gives me time to explore an idea before switching on to something else and it was a cool experince but something happened very fast, my busy mind went so quiet i lost care and i went into a deep depression because my busy mind that kept me interested in so many things at once was now gone and i was left with a i dont care about nothing attitude just existing. It got so bad i thought i would rather be scattered brained and too busy to notice detail then to feel this way so ivstopped and started taking multivitamins hoping to replace the copper and other minerals zinc might of lowered it was not long and my busy mind was giving me a 100 ideas of things to do, before i could complete one i was already doing another but it was better than not caring to do anything. I should of just backed off the zinc but ibwas so depressed i just wanted out of that horrible feeling. My son has ADHD i remember giving him zinc when he was head start and how the teachers said he was not as hyper that day but different.

[@zxctgb]

Zinc is one of the most common deficiencies in ADHD, along with magnesium, iron, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (think omega 3, side note, zinc helps process these). I also found zinc significantly helped ADHD (and indirectly through helping sleep), it was also helped by choline, grass fed fatty red meat (high in zinc, iron, fatty acids and amino acids we use to produce neurotransmitters), cardio, fermented foods (like sauerkraut), going paleo, getting sunlight, setting timers etc. What else helped you?

[@JMSsssssss]

Just have to be careful with it's impact on copper. They can work against each other.

[@WhiteOak09]

You take it by itself or with other things

[@Angel-gb9gi]

@@WhiteOak09 I took plain zinc nothing else. I had heard it lowered copper and I had suspicion I had too much copper from how excited my mind was. Zinc can slow down your racing mind and lower copper. I found a little excitement is better than a brain that has lost all excitement in anything.

Hey doc, amazing crash course with abundance of info, I’ve recently been diagnosed with a zinc deficiency, was prescribed solvazinc 45mg effervescent tablets pack of 90. I’m currently taking fluconazole for Candida/yeast overgrowth to wich I requested as symptoms got unbearable. My doctors are ignorant to this but prescribed them anyway. The document study you share at 25 mins will possibly solve there ignorance and may well test. Had Dutch test privately in past. But could you please share a link for that study for me to look further and share with doctors? Sincerely grateful for you and the work you do the knowledge you share is valuable life tool so thank you ❤ from uk 🇬🇧

[@ingunnhelen9931]

Thank you so much for this info! What about ionic zinc in liquid form, is that a good alternative? I have heard it's easier for the body to absorb it in the mouth compared to the gut. Would love to hear your thoughts about that.
