Zinc:
Zinc is a trace element present in small amounts in the body, but it is involved in more than 200 functions within the body. Since dietary sources of zinc are mostly animal-based, vegans should ensure they do not lack this essential trace element. Although zinc is also found in several foods, consumption of coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, diuretics, and stress depletes zinc reserves.
Important to know, zinc supplementation can cause a copper deficiency. Make sure to choose a quality supplement that contains a small amount of copper.
