Is there any harm in taking zinc supplements if you are not zinc deficient?

In life, everyone knows that babies need a lot of nutrition during their growth and development, especially the trace element zinc. Some young mothers do not know how to take care of their babies. They hear others say that their babies are zinc deficient and need zinc supplementation, but they don’t know whether their children are zinc deficient or not, so they blindly supplement their children with zinc. But they are not sure whether zinc supplementation is harmful. In life, if the baby is not zinc deficient, there is no need to supplement the baby with zinc. It is better to take an appropriate amount of trace elements and vitamins.

1. Children who are growing and developing should be careful not to be picky eaters. Zinc is generally found in large quantities in pork liver, lean meat, pork kidney, eggs, carp and milk. In addition, hard-shelled fruits such as peanuts, walnuts, and chestnuts also have high zinc content. Parents should feed their babies a richer variety of foods so that zinc supplementation will be more effective.

2. Feed your children less repeatedly processed and overly refined foods. The main reason for zinc deficiency among children in my country is that urban children consume too much refined food, while rural children consume too little animal food.

4. The order of zinc content in food is animal food > beans > cereals > vegetables. Generally speaking, the zinc in animal foods is highly biologically active and is easier to absorb and utilize, while plant foods contain less zinc and are difficult to absorb. Parents can supplement zinc for their babies based on this.

5. Milk is not conducive to the absorption of zinc, so zinc products should not be taken with milk.

6. Zinc is also known as a sexual stimulant. If taken blindly, it can easily cause premature sexual development in children, so it should not be supplemented excessively.
