Good Dietary Sources of Zinc

Foods that contain Zinc include:

- Oysters
- Liver
- Yeast
- Shellfish
- Wheatgerm
- Meats
- Soy flour
- Wholegrain bread
- Eggs
- Brazil nuts, almonds
- Zinc-fortified foods

Optimum Intake of Zinc

The two biggest factors that reduce dietary zinc content are food-refining and food-processing. For example, processing wholegrain flour into regular white flour causes a 75 percent loss of the mineral. Refining unpolished brown rice to regular white rice, causes a zinc loss of 80 percent.
