    Glossary Zinc Deficiency

    condition where insufficient zinc impairs immune function and hair growth

    Zinc deficiency, also known as zinc insufficiency, occurs when the body does not have enough zinc to meet its needs. This essential mineral plays a crucial role in immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Symptoms of zinc deficiency can include hair loss, impaired immune function, delayed wound healing, and skin lesions. It can be diagnosed through blood tests and is often treated with dietary changes or zinc supplements.
