Today we’re going to talk about the effects of zinc on your respiratory system. There is a significant connection between zinc, the immune system, and especially your lungs.

Potential situations that could occur if you’re deficient in zinc:

• Increased duration of lung infections

• Diminished T cell function

• Increased cytokines

• Increased risk of lung infections

• People with conditions like COPD are typically deficient in zinc

• Increased risk for ARDS, upper respiratory infections, and lower respiratory infections

• Increased susceptibility of the lungs to ventilator-induced injury

If you have a lung infection, your body is going to be using so much zinc that chances are you could become deficient. The infection itself can cause a depletion of zinc, and then you lose more of the ability to fight the infection.
