zinc deficiency
Zinc deficiency is a nutritional deficit where the body lacks the essential mineral zinc, necessary for optimal body function. Zinc plays a vital role in several bodily functions such as immune response, protein synthesis, wound healing, cell division, and growth. Thus, zinc deficiency can lead to a range of health issues, including slowed growth in children, weakened immune system, skin issues, and cognitive impairment. It can be caused by insufficient dietary intake, poor absorption or increased loss of zinc.
