Zinc-Rich Diet (Food Sources)

A zinc-rich diet emphasizes whole foods naturally abundant in zinc, such as oysters, pumpkin seeds, beef, lentils, and chickpeas. Unlike supplemental zinc, dietary intake works synergistically with proteins, amino acids, and other trace minerals, supporting balanced immune responses, steady tissue repair, and reproductive health without pushing the system into depletion or suppression.
