In this video, I discuss why zinc is so important for the brain. I’ll address:

1. Psychiatric conditions linked to low zinc.

2. Three ways that zinc impacts neurotransmitter functioning.

3. Zinc’s role as an antioxidant and its relationship to metallothioneins.

4. The importance of zinc for immune regulation.

5. The many ways zinc impacts the digestive tract.

6. How we measure zinc (along with copper) and the limitations of typical lab ranges.

7. Why optimizing zinc requires testing and monitoring.
