What is Zinc?
Zinc is an essential trace element, which means that the body cannot generate it on its own or store it; it has to come from your diet.
Dietary Sources of Zinc:
• Chicken and other poultry.
• Seafood, particularly shellfish like oysters, crab, mussels and lobster.
• Nuts.
• Grains, beans, lentils and split peas.
• Spinach.
• Dairy products - milk, yoghurt, cheese.
• Fortified breakfast cereal.
• Red meat
Symptoms of Zinc Deficiency:
• Losing weight.
• Not feeling hungry.
• Diarrhoea.
• Having no energy.
• Being more prone to infections, such as colds, coughs and chest infections.
• Losing your hair.
• Skin rashes.
• Problems with eyesight, taste or smell.
• Impotence.
Symptoms in children and adolescents:
• Halting of growth.
• Delayed puberty.
Development of learning difficulty.
Causes of Zinc Deficiency:
• Malnourishment
• Being Vegetarian or Vegan
• Pregnancy & breastfeeding
• Ulcerative Colitis
• Crohn's Disease
• Coeliac Disease
• Chronic diarrhoea
• Alcohol addiction
• Chronic liver or kidney disease
• Taking high dose iron supplements
• Acrodermatitis enteropathica
Medications that interact with Zinc:
• Penicillamine
• Thiazide diuretics eg Bendrofluazide

• An unpleasant taste.
• Tummy ache.
• Feeling sick (nausea), or being sick (vomiting).
• Diarrhoea.
• Indigestion.

What did you like best about this video? What topic would you like me to cover next? Let me know here 🙂
Thanks @Yousra Bounab - great suggestion :)
Hi Sam, great video thanks for that. Any data on K2? Also when are you going to be back on TV! Thanks, Clive.
Can you do a video on panax ginseng.
Very informative, well-explained comprehensive and have pratical advice. Keep it up Dr. Sam.
Pedialyte have zinc can I take that
Judging by the videos that I have watched so far, I cannot but admire the Doc's positive and uplifting attitude. These attributes are desperately needed in the mad world we are living in at the moment.
So far ( Jan.'21) boosted my Zinc intake to 25 mg. 68, my macular degeneration is steady, dry skin has stopped and during these Covid times, it possibly boosted my immunity to colds or Flu. As, though getting drenched in the rain I breathe easily thru both nostrils. Thanks Dr.Sam, ...for the 'further' boost. Please keep up the good work especially harrassment by N. Z. and Aussie bureaucrats.
No such thing as immunity or flu
For vegetarians/vegans sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds are excellent sources for zinc, not to mention calcium, magnesium, iron, and other goodies. The mineral content of these two seed types is quite amazing.
Not very well absorbed due to phyates. Meat zinc is optimal and more bioavailable.
@@HTB6493 That can be remedied by soaking the sesame and pumpkin seeds for several hours (at room temperature) in a covered bowl of water with 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt added. This soaking also makes the seeds more digestible, plus it adds a nice savoury flavour to them.
@@creagmacthomais1739 bit of effort just to eat, I'll stick to my meat 😊
Sesame seeds are also a copper superstar
@@HTB6493 it's a bummer the bowel transit time is so high on meat, almost like it shouldn't be consumed by humans. Our digestive track is three times the length of our torso, which is a common trait with plant eaters. We also don't have claws or teeth for it, and cooking the food simply removes nutrients. By all means stick to your meat though, I personally got off my flesh addiction and feel great physically because of it. It takes 2 days roughly with meat to get through, fruit/veggies less than a day, so yeah its a bit of a biological argument.
So glad I've come across your channel, especially in the times we're living in now. Thanks Dr. Sam!
How refreshing gain balanced, well researched video, presented in such a charming and friendly manner. If only my GP was as enthusiastic and open as you are, sharing your professionalism in such an interesting a learned fashion. Thank you. You are a voice of calm and reason in a world where medical science has become the enemy, rather than the friend it should be. Thank you Dr Sam, you are a gem. Derek, Annan, Scotland.
50 years ago in the USA, the doctors were mostly men, smoking a cigar, smelling like an ashtray. He comes in and says to me: What seems to be bothering you? What I wanted to say was.......you are. Today my doctor came in and never made eye contact with me, sat down at his desktop and started typing. He finally said: what seems to be troubling you? What I wanted to say is ......you are. No wonder we turn to RUclips to search for help in the medical field. Dr.Sam is the example every doctor should follow.
Dr. Sam I am taking zinc ! One daily pill ! You have a wonderful smile and personality ! Thank you for your time !
Well done Dr Sam! Specifically helpful learning about how much zinc recommended for adults and cautions regarding too much intake. Thank you.
All videos of Dr Bailey are very clear and helpful. It is a treat to watch, not only because of the quality of the information but also due to the charming and sweet way of her.
I love your honesty and voice on what’s true is in regards to testing and covid. Thank you!!! I look forward to watching all of your videos as I only just found you
Doctor I listen to your medical programs on you tube, that said being self isolation for several months and feeling cabin fever/depressed. It the smile that's helping me thru this time. My way of saying THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUVE DONE
Thank you Kelly. Let me send some smiles your way, virtual hug 🤗
You're as amazing as always. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Hi doc, thanks for share my friend
sama sama dokter
Sam, I am now 66 (from the UK). Until about 10 years ago, all my life I suffered with bad colds each winter - typically three per winter season. In 2010 I heard an article on the radio about zinc, so I started taking a supplement, 15mg of Zinc Citrate per day, (its cheap £1.50 for 30 tablets). The result is this: in the past 10 years I would have had ~ 30 colds, with chest infection. In those ten years I have had around 6 colds and without a chest infection. So I am convinced zinc acts as a prophylactic against colds and flu. I was also interested that you mentioned IBD, which I have suffered with since I was 22 and take Mesalazine each day. Thanks for your presentation, no other Physician has ever mentioned zinc to me. Philip Robinson.
Wonderful, I'm pleased you have discovered it :)
@@DrSamBailey Thanks. Can you explain the mechanism how it works, or a reference perhaps? From what I have read, a virus has to overcome a series of "hurdles" before it can penetrate a cell and insert its RNA into the nucleus, in order to reproduce. Zinc is involved in the efficiency of these "bio-chemical hurdles" .
She is the most glamorous doctor I have ever seen and the knowledge that she imparts is so necessary in this pandemic world that we are having to live in today!
Calm down bro it’s jus make up smh you thirsty
Awesome information sharing Dr Sam! 💖🌈💗 Thank you so much for your time and beautiful energy! I enjoy your videos 💯% 💐
Thank you so much for explaining this!❤ I started taking Zinc regularly this year. I haven't had the "usual" colds, flus, or other viruses. My mom & grandma have Macular Degeneration, so that was 1 of many reasons I started trying to be good about taking it every day. I've had a couple of years of being unable to eat enough food, so I was deficient in just about everything. I'm working with a Gastroenterologist - my esophagus had narrowed to 11x5mm, so my stomach was tiny & I had a hard time eating & keeping food down. My PCM missed this for over 2 years.
Hi Dr. Sam, you have such a beautiful smile 😊 ☀️ Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 🙌
Thank you, a honest supplement video without someone trying to advertise their product😂
As winter is here now (1/7/21), I am once again enjoying my inheritance ...eczema. It has been a long time coming, I am seventy-one as I write this. I really have little to complain about, yeah, tinnitus (two 'n's, one for each ear ) in my left ear. Just happened a month maybe two ago. It can become scary at times. A type of possession haunting your very private peace. I'm sorry you had no easy solutions, more for you than me, you want so much to help us. I was glad to find you here. Didn't come across your site and I am always travelling through the net. My Tinnitus is the result of playing in a rock band many moons ago. Any way, I just wanted to tell you, you are doing a bang up job. You are really pretty too, love your mannerisms. Thanx.
Please consider doing a video on "inflammaging," dysregulation of the inflammatory response in the elderly, with decreased acquired immunity but normal innate immunity. It may sound vague, but there are over 700 articles on it in the National Library of Medicine! (pubmed.gov)
Hello :)
It would be nice if you could do a video on all of the essential vitamins and minerals that humans require each day and if there is anything that certain ones should be taken with to increase their absorption etc.
Your videos are great btw, very easy to follow. Thank you
It's good medical info. and advice you're giving. Thanks & grateful esp. in pursuit of Terrain Theory, prepping up the reservoir when/if the Germ Theory hits. Learnt (correctly or wrongly in my understanding) from your other valuable videos. On zinc, I understand that copper is a counter-balance to it, and is another reason why we should tamper the necessary dosage. Would you please comment? BTW, I will be purchasing your Virus Mania on Kindle within the next couple of days. The reviews on Amazon are glowing. Keep up with your meaningful work. Rarer folks like you not only help keep the world safe but help as well to encourage people to have the courage, gumption to do the right thing by humanity. Blessings!
I started taking zinc, vit c colloidal silver and now elderberry syrup. The zinc I use has vit b and magnesium included. Good to see a kiwi dr on RUclips 👋
I we been hearing so much about zinc. Thanks for explaining. Especially that there is no real difference between types
I never knew this before...thank you again Dr Sam.
Watch it again and again to reinforce my understanding DR Bailey .thanks greatfully
Please keep up the great videos and I applaud you for standing by your convictions regarding the Covid vaccine
Dr, you have a beautiful attitude, I appreciate your knowledge, and your willingness to share it with us.
Thank you for the very informative video, Dr. Sam. I have been taking 50 mg of zinc every morning, along with a multi-vitamin and other supplements. I feel fantastic. Thanks again! ~ Steve
Thank you so much doctor Bailey I am going to order right now. Thanks God somehow your channel pop up when I watching another doctor video.
Honestly, I’m more attracted to the stunningly beautiful doctor and the nice accent.
Pumpkin seed shells are loaded with zinc. A great option for vegetarians, plus they taste great.
Dr. Sam, although I find it hard to concentrate while watching you ☺️, thank you for this helpful information about zinc. See I was listening 🤣. Thank you 🙏🏼
Same problem.
@Edward Scott
WoW ! Edward,. REALLY ! ! "hard to concentrate" 😱 Oh I'm sorry, I forgot -- that's typical of men when they see a pretty face. I guess u haven't matured yet. No offense ✌️
@@davinagray700 Ha ha yeah, we men are terrible like that. Jealous much? No offense ✌🏼
Thanks Dr. Sam for sharing your knowledge with us. I love watching your videos and learn so much on a wide variety of health topics that I'm interesting in. I take many supplements daily and like to keep up on the health benefits, dosages, and possible side effects of each of these supplements. Your videos are a valuable resource in this regard. Additionally, I love your sense of humor and overall personally; I think you are an extraordinarily intelligent and beautiful lady - thanks again.
Excellent presentation. Great accent.
Another great video. Thanks Dr Barbarella ;)
Valuable information Dr Sam. Thank you

Hi
...you look great dr.Sam,God bless you!
At covid time they suggest to take more zinc. I didn't realize it could be toxic. Thank you for all the great informations
Very informative and well detailed... Thanks alot❤️❤️
A video about the pro/cons of chiropractics therapy would be so interesting!
Very informative & to the point. Dr Sam you're a GREAT communicator.
THANK YOU. 👍 👍 👍.
I appreciate that!
Very helpful. Thank you! ♥️
Very good and helpful information, thanks Dr Sam.
I'm in love,I'm so healthy now thank you doc.
I was glad to see that eating chicken and red meat is a source of zinc. I eat lots of venison, and other wild game, along with chicken, so thanks for the info, these videos are awesome.
Great presentation! Good information. And a pleasure to see a happy and healthy dokter. Take daily 30mg good quality. Will slow down to 15 and check bloodlevel.
I honestly want to concentrate on what you are teaching because it is very informative, thank you.
Thank you again for another informative video. I have been taking a multi-supplement twice a day that includes 15 mg zinc. (citrate) No side effects I know of, and am reasonable healthy and active at age 80. Good to hear the whole story on this.
Greetings from Canada, your video is greatly appreciated. keep safe.
I just discovered your channel today! I’ve watched 3 videos already and they are excellent! As a retired Biology teacher the topics of Heath are fascinating! Love the way you explain and your detailed summary in the description box! Thank you! 💖
Great video and delivery, thanks
I've seen many videos on this topic but this one was very informative.you have a sweet smile.
Thankyou , I have covid for the second time. I remembered you had said to take vitamin D and zinc. So just came back to refresh my memory. I love your info. I live in Alberta Canada . I got covid in November 2019. I was sick for months and was in isolation. Been well until three weeks ago. It has been bad. Settling in my lungs. I am not vaxed. Hopefully I will be able to kick this.
You confirmed one thing. Zinc nasal spray, (Zicam) ruined my sense of smell 10 years ago. Never been as good. Thank you for proving what I suspected.
Great video. A point to note is that medical authorities around the globe quite simply CANNOT agree on recommended daily intakes of ANY vitamins or minerals. Logic would dictate that that RDI's would be made with an evidence base and that there would therefore be consensus. As an example, here in the UK our zinc RDI is 15mg daily for men AND women, not 11mg and 8mg. This kind of variation between nations makes a mockery of RDI's.
This is not to criticize you doctor, but rather to highlight the absurdity of the advice from the regulators.
Hi Dr.Sam can you make a video on good food thanks Brian
Thank you doctor I have started taking zinc and you answered a lot of questions for me I think this is very good. Enjoy your day
Video is great and also thanks for the description with all of sources of zinc!
Thanks for mentioning me in the vid!!
Thank you Dr. Sam. I found your video on Zinc very informative & will be useful. Please keep the information coming. It is appreciated by myself & many. Best Always..
.Bob V
Dr. Sam, keep up the great work!
I recently found your RUclips channel and have been going through all your videos. QUESTION: Can you do a little something on K2 MK-7? I am reading good things about it.
very useful, thanks. I found that years of exhaustion are very well reversed by taking potassium supplements. Anything on Potassium could be useful for people. Thanks for all the great videos, being gorgeous and wonderfully intelligent. Well done doc :)
I love watching your video's very informative and well explained 🙂👍.
You’re awesome! Thanks. ✌️🤪👍
You’re a a wealth of knowledge.
Hi, I'm 67 year old surfer and suffer from chronic swimmers ear till i started zinc supplementation due to covid risk. Well ears are fine for the first time in decades. I also noticed my eyesight has improved quite markedly, I sit in the same spot most evenings that we watch netflix and used to struggle to read the descriptions of the shows on offer but after a month of zinc I can read it without any problems. Skin is also better. I'm vegan for about 20 years and vegetarian before that so must hav3 needed it. Kind regards Pete
Which zinc to take please. Thanks
Love your videos ..very factually informative ..one thing I seen on TV is when u take suppliments without food (including orange juice ) study's show u may only receive UPTO 5% of the nutrients .and if taken with food u get around 85% of the nutrients ..this was independently tested..I think it might have been on TARGET ..it has sumthing to do with digestion Vs urination and the 2 different cycles in the body and the way things are triggered etc
Informative as always. Thank you.
Hi! I love your channel! You seem so genuine and it's nice to see real information provided by a doctor. I'm wondering why zinc supplements are sold in 50mg capsules when that is too high for daily use. What about a dosage for a child? I'm living in Ukraine and it seems like everyone has or has had covid and I'd like to guard my girlfriend's daughter with vitamin D and zinc, but aren't sure what dose to give her. She's currently on 600 IUs of vitamin D.
Nice topic ) the most beautiful about your videos is your smile :).. greetings from Dubai doctor 😀
Thank you! 😃
Hello Dr. Sam. Thank you for the information on zinc and the correct dose. I am actually having 10 mg a day with vitamin C and D, just to keep my inmune sytem in order (that is what I tgink and I may be totally wrong). I will wait for your next video!!
thanks always great info . and beautiful smile .and love the accent 😛
Isn't getting Zinc from foods much more bioavailable then taking a synthetic or processed element?
Thanks, good advice.
Zinc i love it, it's a workhorse as its needed for making stomach acid, and cortisol control IE lowers high cortisol balancing cortisol and thyroid hormones... i usually take 50mg every other day now although i have taken it daily for a few months to build levels back up...
Your great Doctor Bailey!
Thank you doctor for a wonderful presentation about supplemental zinc.
Thx for mentioning Celiac disease. Greetings from FL, USA
Awesome as always Dr Sam, thank you 🙏😊
Beautifully explained 👏👌👍
🌞Great professor, Doctor and Healer 💞🙏✍️📗
YOUR VERY ATTRACTIVE MY DEAR,
ARE YOU AN AUSTRALIAN? THAT ACCENT SOUNDS LIKE IT
