1. how does a zinc surplus manifest itself?
An overdose of zinc through food is usually not possible. Even if one takes in a lot of zinc through food intake, there are no serious consequences. If the organism receives too much zinc, the excess is excreted through the urinary tract. A serious overdose can result from taking too much zinc in the form of dietary supplements. Extreme overdose can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, cramps and headaches.
2. what is zinc?
- Zinc is a vital trace element
- The body cannot produce zinc itself and is therefore dependent on a daily zinc intake
- Zinc is found in the skin, hair, bones and eyes.
- Particularly good zinc suppliers are mainly in animal foods
- Vegetarians or vegans often suffer from a zinc deficiency
- Zinc is particularly important for cell division
3. what is the daily requirement of zinc?
The daily requirement of zinc varies according to gender. Men should take in about 10 milligrams of zinc daily. Women, on the other hand, only need a daily ration of 7 milligrams. One should generally always keep in mind that age, weight and size always play a significant role. Furthermore, factors such as diet and lifestyle should be taken into account. The daily requirement of zinc can normally be well covered with a balanced and healthy diet. In case of a zinc deficiency, the daily requirement of zinc can be well covered with the help of zinc as a dietary supplement.
4. zinc in the form of food supplements
If you want to increase a too low zinc level with a dietary supplement, you should definitely pay attention to the form of the active ingredient and its origin. Zinc capsules are particularly suitable for increasing zinc levels. They are very well tolerated and are utilized by the body to a high degree. Likewise, the preparation should not contain any chemical additives such as microcrystalline cellulose. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product has also been produced safely and is of high quality.

5. conclusion: How does a zinc surplus manifest itself?
An excess of zinc is not caused by the consumption of extremely high amounts of zinc foods, but by the overdose of zinc in the form of dietary supplements. If the human organism has only a small surplus of zinc, it is excreted through the urinary tract. An extreme excess is noticed by cramps, diarrhea and headaches. For this reason, one should always stick to the recommended daily dose and always discuss changes with a doctor.
