HOW TO SUPPLEMENT WITH ZINC
First of all, Zinc deficiencies are very common
Our soils are depleted in trace minerals
And the human body can& #39;t store Zinc
We have to consume it daily
If your diet is poor in zinc
You need to supplement it

There are certain things that you need to be aware of
1- You need to take it with an empty stomach for maximum absorption
2-We can& #39;t absorb more than 7-10 mg Zinc at a time
3-If you take too much zinc, that can cause copper deficiency
