YSK - ladies with mood issues may he helped by taking a zinc supplement. 1 in 3 women with these issues may see an improvement in as little as a week from a supplement. YSK because this can change lives.
Zinc deficiencies in women often result in mood problems and a supplement of 30mg/day can reduce these problems.
This will apply for some PMS symptoms as well as general irritability and stress management situations
“Zinc helps regulate neurotransmitters, and its deficiency can lead to heightened anxiety and lower stress tolerance”.
WHY YSK - because if you are a woman with mood issues you can literally turn this around. Or if you have a woman in your life who is struggling you can help her.
Not every woman will see results but 1 in 3 is significant and worth trying if this is you or someone you love. Zinc supplements don’t show any changes for men with mood issues.
EDITING TO ADD - don’t take too much. It can apparently cause copper deficiencies. Just take what you need and in balance
EDITING AGAIN to add this isn’t sexist. I’m female. Women with mood issues have been linked to zinc deficiency and potentially women are more likely to have zinc deficiency than men due to nature of being female.
“Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and hormonal fluctuations (e.g., during menopause or premenstrual syndrome) significantly increase the female body's demand for zinc. Pregnancy, in particular, increases risk due to higher urinary loss.”
