- 1ZincLow evidence3 studies
Across 3 meta-analyses examining zinc levels in clinical populations, findings are mixed: 1 large beneficial effect (lower zinc in vitiligo patients), 1 small neutral effect (no significant difference after bariatric surgery), and 1 large harmful effect (lower zinc in MCI patients). The predominant effect size is mixed (small to large), and no consistent dose or form data is available. All studies are observational comparisons, not interventional trials, so the effect of zinc supplementation on reducing zinc levels is not directly tested.
