Q: Are there side effects of Zinc?

Reported side effects may include Nausea, Vomiting (on empty stomach), Copper depletion (long-term high dose), Metallic taste. Most side effects are mild and dose-dependent. Consult your doctor if you experience any adverse reactions.

Q: How strong is the evidence for Zinc and Insulin Resistance?

We rate the evidence as Grade B (Good Evidence). This rating is based on 27 peer-reviewed studies with 1,652 total participants. The overall direction of effect is positive.

B Evidenz Mindestens eine randomisierte Studie unterstützt dies, mit überwiegend konsistenten Ergebnissen.

Meta-analysis of 27 RCTs (n=1,652) found zinc supplementation significantly reduced body weight (0.63 kg), BMI, waist circumference, and HOMA-IR. Separate meta-analysis found significant reductions in fasting glucose, HbA1c, and insulin. Effects are strongest in deficient and obese individuals.
