There are actually debates on whether Zinc is a vitamin or a mineral. There are websites in the internet that say that Zinc is a vitamin and there are websites that say that Zinc is a mineral. From the articles in the internet there are more findings that say that Zinc is a mineral that is needed by the body.
Zinc cannot really be called a vitamin because its components are not the same with other vitamins. Zinc can however be classified as a metal but we have to take note that it can also be poisonous when taken in high dosages.
Vitamins Immune System
Zinc is well known for stopping and curing Colds. There are different dosages that are required to stop colds or cure colds. It would be best to consult a physician for the proper dosages that the body needs. Some people take Zinc immediately upon the onset of the symptoms of colds and this has been proven effective. There are still researches going on if Zinc can also help cure fever and muscle pain but for now its certain that it's an important component of essential immune system vitamins along with vitamin c, fish oil and vitamin D.
Pregnant women need more zinc because it would affect the growing child inside her body. Lack of zinc can cause the infant to become smaller than average. However, breast feeding can also cause Zinc depletion for mothers so there are zinc vitamins that are available in the market that breastfeeding mothers can take. Studies also show that vegetarians also need more zinc because not much of it can be found in vegetables.
Those who are alcoholics also need more zinc than average people because alcohol has been found to decrease the rate of zinc being absorbed by the body. People who also have abdominal problems like gastroenteritis are also more prone to zinc deficiency. They are also advised to take more zinc tablets or capsules.
There are a lot of symptoms that can manifest when there is zinc deficiency. Hair loss, lesions on the skin, diarrhea and poor immune system are just some of the symptoms. Zinc can cause people to not have the appetite to eat and sometimes people abuse this by consuming too much Zinc when in fact it can be poisonous. There are also times when people take Zinc before eating and this can cause abdominal discomfort and nausea.
