In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the one type of food with the highest concentration of zinc in the world. 

The #1 best source of zinc is oysters. Oysters are loaded with bio-available zinc. Red meat, fish, and pumpkin seeds also contain some zinc. 

25% of people are deficient in zinc. Zinc is a mineral that isn’t stored in the body—this means that you have to consume zinc-rich foods regularly to maintain sufficient zinc levels. 

A zinc deficiency is difficult to diagnose—blood tests often won’t reveal a zinc deficiency. Only long-term zinc deficiencies will show up on tests. 


Zinc deficiency symptoms include:

• Decreases lymphocytes

• Enlarged spleen

• Decreased response to pathogens

• Thymus atrophy

• Increased duration of infection

• Increases susceptibility to infection

• Loss of taste/smell

• Decreased wound healing. 

• Low testosterone

• Increased inflammation 


Aside from not consuming enough zinc-rich foods, you may also be low on zinc due to:

• Phytates (found in grains)

• Sugar

• Stress

• Infection

• Antacids (Stomach acidity helps zinc absorption)

• Malabsorption

• Liver damage

• Diabetes

• Vegan diets
