| Description: | Zinc deficiency in humans can result when diets are limited in animal products and are plentiful in unrefined grains, legumes, nuts and seeds containing phytic acid, a potent inhibitor of zinc absorption. The affects of severe zinc deficiency, such as impaired growth, sexual maturation, reproduction and healing, have been reversed with zinc supplementation. However, moderate or mild zinc deficiency cannot be sensitively detected in individuals biochemically using markers such as blood zinc concentrations |
