Importance of Zinc for Vitamin D
Zinc is essential for the proper functioning of the vitamin D receptor. Without sufficient zinc, the receptor will not accept vitamin D, leading to a deficiency. This means that many people who have a vitamin D deficiency also have a zinc deficiency. Zinc is not only crucial for vitamin D but also plays a role in the functioning of about 2,800 different proteins. Deficiency in zinc can result in various symptoms such as loss of taste or smell, low testosterone, digestive issues, skin problems, and compromised immune system.
