Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer

If the body does not have the zinc it needs, a person could experience symptoms associated with zinc deficiency.

Explanation:

The National Institutes of Health say zinc deficiency is rare in the United States. However, if a person has a poor diet, they are more likely to be deficient.

Zinc supports cell function, helping an estimated 100 enzymes — molecules that make chemical reactions happen — perform their duties.

Zinc plays additional roles in the body, including:

1. Boosting immune function

2. Helping cells divide

3. Maintaining the sense of smell and taste

4. Promoting wound healing

There are three chief causes of an underlying zinc deficiency:

1. Not taking in enough zinc through one's diet

2. Losing excess amounts of zinc from the body, such as through poor absorption

3. People with chronic conditions

People with the following chronic conditions may experience zinc deficiency:

1. Alcohol addiction

2. Cancer

3. Celiac disease

4. Chronic diarrhea

5. Chronic kidney disease

6. Chronic liver disease

7. Crohn's disease

8. Diabetes

9. Pancreatic disease

10. Sickle cell disease

11. Ulcerative colitis
