Zinc is one of the key nutrients that boost your immune system, and don’t we all need a little of that right now? In addition to immune boosting benefits, zinc also aids in metabolism and wound healing.  How much? Current recommendation is men should have 11mg per day & women 8mg. Naturally, food is an excellent source of zinc and here are some heavy hitters.

Per ounce, oysters have the highest zinc concentration of any food. If you’re a meat eater and need to change it up a bit, lamb is a great choice. Not into meat or seafood? Nut, seeds and whole grains make it easy to up your intake.

Zinc is an essential mineral and getting enough is critical to good health. Though we advocate for getting your allowance of zinc through food, supplements are generally safe but as always consult your health care provider before adding any supplements to your diet.
