Frequently Asked Questions

Do zinc supplements cause weight gain?

In general, consuming zinc supplements will not cause weight gain if you already have enough minerals in your system. Nevertheless, research has shown that zinc supplementation can have a beneficial effect on weight gain in those who have a deficiency in this element. With a zinc deficiency, weight loss and loss of appetite are common, so improving zinc levels is logical for helping these individuals gain weight.

Do zinc supplements help hair growth?

Zinc is essential for the growth and repair of hair tissue. The loss of hair is one of the symptoms of zinc deficiency, and that's why taking zinc supplements may reduce deficiency-related hair loss. However, when it comes to zinc, it is very important to be sure not to take too much or not enough. The wrong dosage of zinc can lead to some health issues, including hair loss. For example, excessive zinc supplementation can lead to a deficiency in other minerals our bodies need, such as copper, magnesium, and iron, which can lead to hair loss.

How do zinc supplements help acne?

Zinc is one of the minerals most studied for treating acne. Studies have shown that zinc treatment reduced active breakouts in patients compared to those without it. Zinc's anti-inflammatory properties can also minimise acne-related swelling and redness. Due to zinc's ability to speed wound healing, it can also help to reduce acne scarring.

Are zinc supplements safe?

Generally, zinc supplements are well tolerated, although some people have experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach pain with them. In addition, certain antibiotics may be decreased in effectiveness if taken at the same time as zinc supplements. To reduce your risk of side effects, make sure you follow the recommended dosage and don't exceed the tolerable upper limit unless under medical supervision. A dose of no more than 40 mg of zinc daily is likely to be safe.

What is the recommended daily intake of zinc?

The recommended daily intake of zinc varies by age and gender. Generally, adult men need 11mg daily, while adult women require 8mg.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women may require higher amounts to meet their nutritional needs. Always consult your healthcare practitioner for personalised advice.

What are the benefits of taking zinc supplements?

Zinc supplements can support:
  • Immune system function
  • Skin health and wound healing
  • Hair and nail growth
  • Reproductive health
  • Protein synthesis
  • DNA formation

When is the best time to take zinc supplements?

For optimal absorption, take zinc supplements either one hour before meals or two hours after meals, as some foods can interfere with zinc uptake. However, if you experience stomach sensitivity, taking zinc with food may help reduce discomfort.

Can I take zinc with other supplements?

While zinc can be taken with many supplements, it’s important to be mindful of potential interactions.

It is recommended to separate intake of other supplements such as calcium and iron by at least two hours, as they can compete with zinc for absorption. Consult your healthcare practitioner for personalised advice.

What is the best form of zinc supplement for absorption?

Zinc picolinate, zinc citrate, and zinc glycinate are generally well-absorbed forms. The best choice depends on your individual needs and health goals. Discuss with your healthcare practitioner to determine the most suitable form for you.
