Zinc deficiency in humans is widespread, both in third world and more modern countries. Supplementation at optimal levels may be necessary for the best protection from deficiency states.* Low zinc levels in children can cause poor growth and development. Zinc deficiency is commonly prevalent in children in developing countries and plays a role in decreased immunity and increased risk of infection. Injured and stressed individuals are more prone to developing deficiencies. There is an increased local demand for zinc to optimize wound healing.* If high doses of zinc are taken over a long period of time, copper should be supplemented as well to prevent a deficiency of this important trace mineral.
