Zinc intakes of 150 to 450 mg perday have been associated with low copper status,altered iron function, reduced immune function,and reduced levels of high-density lipoproteins.It is advised to keep your zinc intake below theselevels.Too much iron and calcium can decrease theabsorption of zinc in the body. Take one to twohours apart.Diuretics, ethambutol, penicillamine, sodiumvalproate – zinc intake in much of the elderlypopulation may be sub-optimal and, ifcompounded with certain drugs, can lead to mildor even moderate zinc deficiency.Alcohol decreases the absorption of zinc andincreases loss of zinc in urine.Diarrhea causes zinc loss. Those who have hadgastrointestinal surgery or who have digestive disordersthat result in malabsorption, such as Sprue, Crohn’sDisease and Short Bowel Syndrome, may lack zinc.Supportive InteractionsCopper, Calcium, Phosphorus and Vitamin B6 all increasethe absorption and effect of zinc.WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSZinc supplementation can cause a copper deficiency.Consult a health care practitioner if you are pregnant orbreastfeeding, or if symptoms persist or worsen.
