Have you ever wondered whether a zinc deficiency could cause anxiety? Or whether zinc supplementation was a good treatment for anxiety, depression or other mental health symptoms?
In this video Dr Janelle Sinclair will discuss the relationship between zinc and anxiety, as well as zinc and depression. She will talk about zinc deficiency signs and symptoms, zinc's effect on mental health, zinc testing, and zinc dosage as well as common side-effects and interactions with other mediations. Zinc is one of the most powerful minerals for anxiety and is an effective mineral for depression too. Zinc has many health benefits.
Dr Janelle Sinclair is a biochemist and natural medicine practitioner who focuses on natural treatment of anxiety and depression. She offers advice on natural anti anxiety supplements and natural anxiety help. There are lots of different vitamins and minerals for mental health. Dr Janelle discusses which ones are most effective, and signs and symptoms that your body gives you that show which ones you may benefit from most.
Zinc deficiency isn't the only physical cause for anxiety and depression. There are many other nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and problems with the digestive tract, which can impact mental health. Your body often gives physical signs that you have these imbalances.
Dr Janelle has created a checklist which lists 29 signs and symptoms that your body gives you that reveals that you may have biochemical cause for your depression and anxiety.

Thanks for watching! Do you have any of the zinc deficiency signs? Or have you ever used a zinc supplement?
This is great! I've had zinc deficiency and taken zinc for ages now, and I've noticed that it keeps my mouth ulcers away.
@@Amanda-dq4cm that's so great to hear. Are there any topics you'd be interested in me covering in the future?
I just done a taste test with 7ml of metagenics zinc drink, (thinking that was 5-10mg) scored a 2. It wasn't immediately unpleasant but after a few seconds became so. The after taste was sweet though. But checking the label that was actually 50mg of zinc sulphate or 11.3mg equilivant of elemental zinc. per ml. So 7ml was quite a big dose.
@@anythingorigional So redo the test I'd suggest. Just water down the solution. Take 1.2mL of the metagenics zinc and then add approx 5ml of water to it. Then do the test with that.
No I've never been tested I think. My doctor doesn't listen when I ask about the types of deficiencies you talked about on the video I watched today. I've mentioned a test for Magnesium and he ignored me.
I just started taking Zinc (50mg) a day for cold symptoms. And it has helped my Anxiety 100%. I wish I had known this before! I feel the best in years!
Woohoo!!! So glad to hear that Sandra.
How many months u took it
@@smitashinde6263 2 months
How much was elemental zinc in it?
Morning or evening?
I had 4 of the symptoms of low zinc including depression. After taking zinc for a couple weeks I feel so much better. My depression is gone.
Wow! That's so awesome Desi. You are the very reason I create these videos. Here's to an amazing 2020 for you! Have you got any dreams for 2020?
Dr Janelle Sinclair I don’t have any children of my own so for 2020 I would like to take in two foster children. I would eventually like to adopt a foster child.
@@desilife6435 that's lovely Desi. ♥️ Let's pray that the door opens for you in 2020. Exciting!
I’m sooooo happy for you! 🤗
Dr. Janelle, God bless You for telling us about zinc. I checked my blood levels and they were low. 50 mg of zinc gluconate completely eliminated my anxiety. It has also made my hands and feet warm, when they were always cold. It has improved my confidence, concentration and depression. I can’t believe it worked better than Rx drugs.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@murtaza0608 for about 6 months. Zinc gluconate. Started with 50 mg. Now reduced to 15 mg
of which brand? and what other supplements u take to overcome anxiety and secondly which time is best for taking zinc?
@@hamzakiani18 i take
vit d 5000iu
Zinc 15-30mg
Magnesium 400 mg
Sometimes vitamin b12 also
And a multi vitamin
Okay to help everyone a bit here: the oral zinc test is called: Lamberts Zincatest. I tried zinc for my adhd/running thoughts: i notice a decrease in thoughts,longer attention span and less impulsivity and a slight increase in libido/mood (im very sensitive to medicines and supplements: I use 15 mg of zinc per day) 64kg/1.78m male
Yes, Zinc for anxiety totally makes sense. I use & it works!
Love this! Such good information on anxiety and depression that comes from not only a medical background but that also focus on what can be done naturally rather than just solely relying on anti-depressants as so many doctors advise. I'm already looking forward to the next video!
Thanks so much Serena. Are there any particular topics that you'd be interested in?
Great info thanks, Dr Janelle!
Really interesting,wasn't aware of zincs impact or deficits. We've (as a family) just thought those white finger nail dots were random things ! I'm off to check the checklist, will be chasing a supplement for my son as I think it will help a lot with various issues. Thanks again Janelle,have a glorious day whatever you are doing.
They used to say the white dots were lack of calcium 😆😆
Great Information Janelle, I'm looking forward to your series! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Magnesium , vit d , b12 and zinc help with depression and anxiety .
Yes absolutely... And eating right, going gluten free, supporting gut health, balancing hormones, addressing genetic weaknesses....
Always like it that your recommendations are based on test results not a 'maybe this could help.' Looking fwd to more videos. 😀
Thanks Peter. Yeah I find that people respond some much quicker if you find out what their deficiencies or imbalances are, and then fix those. Otherwise there's 100s of supplements to try, and if it doesn't work what do you do- stop or increase the dose??? Any topics you're interested in for the future Peter?
I love your videos… Thank you Doc!
Very thorough and informative. Love that you explain zinc, what it can help, how to get a diagnosis and how to get treatment. Definitely keen to see more material from you! Thanks!
Thanks so much Anna. Were there any particular topics that you'd like me to cover in future?
Thank you for this video! I've started this and B6 from your advice four days ago, and it's already been life-changing. I wish I'd known sooner, but I wouldn't know now without your work.

You may have had pyroluria. Pyroluria Causes a decrease in b6 and zinc. I’m about to start both of them for depression/anxiety/ insomnia.
@@MophineChild jarrow makes a formula u might like with methyl folate, p5p ( its b6) and b12.
dont over due b6, once your dreams are vivid your good and then u can supplement every other day or every other few days. also try to go on a low copper diet while uping your zinc , dont take a zinc with added copper, copperis too easy to come buy in food.
Fantastic... can I ask what brand of vits you took please?? ❤️
Maybe try a ZMA supplement, it comtains Zinc, B6 and Magnesium that is also great for mental health.
Its making sense! Zinc supplements here i go.
I have ADD.
Awesome. Did you do any testing?

It's my pleasure Vivien. Are there any topics that you'd be interested in learning more about?
@@DrJanelleSinclair Haha! Yes! If it's not too complicated, the nuts and bolts of how gut health affects mental health (D-lactate and glutamate production in the gut). Also food chemical (eg salicylate and amine) intolerances and the effect on mood and behaviour. I once read some amazing research on psychiatric patients being released from hospital earlier and re-admitted less when put on diets low in the suspect foods. It even helped psychosis!

My blood results
Zinc 16.49 ( 13.80 - 22.30)
When I took the blood test, I was taking it to check for the reason behind developing eczema. About less than a month later, I developed anxiety and sleep problems. Rapid heartbeat and difficulty returning to sleep, staying asleep and going to sleep.
Do I still need to take zinc 15mg? I take wheatgrass and seems like there is a lot of copper in there?
I did not check my copper then or yet.
Just popped a zinc 🙏🏼
Hi. My blood work shows zinc is 80 reference range 60-130 and copper is 137 reference range 70-175. I’m having intense anxiety. Do you think my zinc is low enough to supplement or is it ok? Thank you
Yes I think so.
Yes
If you take high dose zinc add a little copper about 10:1. Zinc also blocks iron absorption

Hi Dr Janelle, Thanks so much for the great information. I just wanted to query whether taking zinc supplements is ok for breastfeeding Mums? The NOW foods supplement says not to, what do you think? Thank you.
The upper tolerable limit for zinc during breastfeeding is 40mg, but I'd suggest you test your zinc levels first before taking. Probably best to take 20mg twice a day.
what kind of zinc do you test with?
Hello i was wondering if the taste test would work with the zinc tablets like if you break it and lick the tablet
Hi like your video. I am taking lorazepam can I take ashwagandha supplements
What do you think of zinc carnosine for gastritis and ulcers
I contracted a planters wart and tried to get rid of it by conventional methods. It kept re growing and was so painful I could barely walk for over a year. I started to do some research and discovered a study out of Iraq. I began taking zinc supplements and it was completely gone in a matter of days. Interesting was all of the evidence of it having been there including the hole and scarring from burning it off, also disappeared.
I thought this might be interesting for some of your low zinc persons who might not realize the link between low zinc levels and planters warts.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!

Hi doctor, and thanks for the great video.
I have a question. In my search for some natural supplements for anxiety and depression, I came across something called Lithium Orotate. My question is that, is it safe to take it while on SSRI? I'm currently taking Faverine 200 mg. I also read that Lithium might cause hypothyroidism, does this mean all Lithium supplements do cause this including Lithium orotate or is it only restricted to the other Lithium that is used as a prescription drug?
Thanks again for the great content.
talk to your doctor to be sure.
Magnesium and Zinc..will this help hives ?
Doctor, i take zinc picolinate 30mg daily once a day after my meal. Is that enough?

How much should be dosage for zinc
I am love this videio
Just some thoughts. I do hair mineral balancing. I use a hair sample that tests for your mineral balance and then determine a program for you. That said quite often when you have low zinc you may have high copper also women who have high copper are at risk for cysts and cancer. Just some information
Yes high copper can definitely be a problem for people with depression and anxiety. I wanted to keep this video simple but I may discuss that in future videos. Hair mineral analysis can be complicated to interpret and not something a consumer should use without a practitioner to interpret. Thanks for your input
@@DrJanelleSinclair how else would you get the test done without a proper practitioner to be able to explain it all???
My zinc is 62 range is 60-120..

Zinc gluconate or piclolinate seem a good way to go.
@@davenic9781 Zinc glycinate is best bioavailable.
Dr. Sinclair, I live in NJ one of the few states where it’s illegal to request a blood test with out a doctors prescription. I went to a hematologist and got bloodwork done but I don’t know if the test will cover zinc and a lot of minerals. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do other than trying to find the right doctor to beg for a referral for a test in a certain mineral or vitamin deficiency?🙁
Do a zinc taste test.
If zinc is #2 in the brain, what is #1? Also, I had my zinc tested and it was in range, the important thing was to check copper at the same time because even though I was in range, my zinc was lower than the copper and it should always be higher.
Iron is the #1 mineral in the brain. Yes you're right about the copper. It looks like you're very interested in natural medicine for mental health. If you're still looking for answers check out my new online webclass called "How to finally resolve debilitating depression and exhausting anxiety, without medication and expensive frustrating counselling". If you're finding my CZcams videos helpful, I'll think you'll really get a lot out of the free webclass. www.drjanellesinclair.com/webclass
Hi Dr. Janelle,
Do you recommend using Zinc or is it best only on it's very own? I take in in a combined supplement with magnesium an calcium.
Thank you so much for this amazing information. Just subscribed 🙂
Taking zinc alongside other nutrients is absolutely fine and very normal. You'll just have to check the elemental zinc dosage in the supplement. Most supplements that include zinc have only 15mg per dose, unless it is a specialty product. It's a high probability that the zinc/magnesium/calcium product you have only has a small amount of zinc in it. Refer to the video for recommended zinc dosages.
@@DrJanelleSinclair thank you 🙂
i like your accent doc ! zinc helps in men fertility i think or hair loss which is testosterone in general
Yes zinc does help in men's fertility. This video is on zinc in mental health so I didn't mention all it's health benefits. But it is an important mineral!
Can it ibe taken with Antifungal???
Hi, I’m new to your channel. I am currently taking iron pills. 65mg Iron pills. I take it every night around 8 pm. If I take it zinc what time of the day should I take the zinc. Should I take it in the morning? Would it still react with the iron pills? And would zinc 25 mg stop copper production?
Take iron and zinc at separate times of the day. I normally recommend zinc with good at breakfast. 25mg of zinc should not affect copper levels. But if you are on zinc long-term it is prudent to check the copper levels every year.
can too much zinc cause copper deficiency? i hope you can do a video about copper? i like your videos and how you explaining it its very easy to understand :) im from sweden and my english is mayby not the best?
Usually a Copper defiency come with a zinc dosage of 45mg or higher in a chronic dose

Zinc deficiency is common in taste and smell disorder (if you have no taste of smell), so investigate that as suggested in this video. If you have a problem that smells are too much, consider working on your liver function
I started taking it after I found out I have low thyroid function . But my supplement is only 150mg and I always do feel slightly nauseas after taking it :/

Hi for social anxiety Witch vitamins butter pls
magnesium.
Hello dear, for the past 6 months my emotion became very unstable, I was easily upset (anxiety or depression), and my hair started to lose. I have tried taking the Zinc supplementary for two months and it helps with my hair loss( loss a little less) and I feel much better when taking it. Can these be considered as Zinc deficiency? because I have stopped using it for 2 months and the hair started to insanely fall once again and I'm easily suffered from emotional instability.I'm thinking of taking the supplementary once again, but i afraid it would leave a last long effect on my health. So is it possible for the supplementary to cause me any harm if i take it in a moderate dose (I'm not on any medication).
Zinc is a very safe and very important mineral. It sounds like your body needs it

I would love if you covered PMS, PMDD, PCOS and hormonal imbalance. Currently suffering from severe PMDD. After hours of personal research i am taking Zinc, Magnesium, B- Complex, Calcium D Glucarate, DIM, Vitamin D3 & K2 Milk Thistle and Dandelion for my liver, Probiotics, using Tumeric in my foods, AND 5 HTP. I'm doing my best with fiber and healthier foods but binge eating has been a struggle.
. Anyways... my symptoms is that when my period finally arises... I feel 90% normal. Depression, Social anxiety, Memory Loss, Brain Fog, Fatigue, Dizziness, Naseau etc are all present and get extremely worse until my period. Once my period hits.. a lot of it vanishes.
Help :( I haven;t worked in over a year because of my condition. :(
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles Beauty. I have been asked to make a video by others recently so I will put move it further up the list. You sound like you're giving your body some good support. Maybe look at my blood sugar and anxiety video, and take note of what I say about sugar cravings. Have you ever looked into bioidentical progesterone?
Dr Janelle Sinclair Yes I have! Last month when I got my period, I was back to 85% normal but only for a week and the depression and anxiety hit again 😢
The rest of the month I suffer with all the symptoms. If I eat poorly.... my PCOS will get triggered and my period will not come and I will suffer longer until I get a period... anyways... I bought bio identical progesterone (wild yam) and rubbed it in where it was more highly absorbed. I only did it for 3 days desperately hoping for some sort of relief. I only found myself more aggressive and agitated and suicidal so I stopped using it.
I wonder if a hormonal test levels the day of my period could be an answer for me. I’ve been struggling for 5 plus years and It’s taking years of my life.
I wonder if SIBO, or gut bacteria has an affect on hormones and not flushing out the bad estrogens? Possibly the liver isn’t working properly?
Thank you for responding by the way. Your response gives me so much hope.
Can’t wait for the video about the hormones. I will check out the blood sugar and anxiety video right now. Thank you again.
Man that is such a great stack!! I take every single one of those!!
@@Malitubee if you are also struggling with PMDD I'm releasing a video on the topic later this week.

b2, methl folate, b6 and youll be better in days. dont take niacin but once in a while. zinc is good stuff, avoid copper. best of luck. the copper in your food in enough and at times u should also avoid that. if u have a copper iud get it taken out.

did the zinc help you?
What effects zinc did it help?
When supplementing with zinc and it detox’s copper, how would I know how much copper I need?
You can zinc supplements that include cooper.
I have generally seen online that for 15mg of Zinc, 1mg of Copper is recommended. Bear in mind though that depending on your diet, you may already be getting a fair amount of either of these. The daily upper limit of Zinc seems to often be quoted as 40mg.

Zinc😂😂😂😂
Great vid I've been taking 50mg of zinc picolinate 4 2 years but my levels not going up what's the reason if I take copper will it help 2 raise zinc levels in 2017 levels were 7.9 umol/l in 2018 it went up 2 9.9 umol/l it's taking ages still with symptoms is it cos of taking the wrong zinc foam ?
Hi Omraz. I suggest that you strengthen your stomach acid levels to help you absorb the zinc better. Also pyroluria is another reason for not being able to build up zinc levels. Zinc picolinate is a great form of zinc. It is good to monitor copper levels if you are on zinc long-term. Rather than supplementing it I prefer to recommend copper testing once a year to ensure that they aren't low (and only taking copper if you need it). A lot of people that have zinc deficiency, actually have high copper, so copper supplementation or high copper foods can make them feel worse.
It put me in a sedative state, bought it 2 days ago, felt groggy and dizzy last 2 days after taking it. Ive been taking 22mg a day of zinc picolinate.. I dont like the feeling it gives me so im stopping it maybe i didnt need it and thats why im getting bad affects from it.
Bless you... have u changed brands at all? How u feeling now?
Only if you’re takin b6 with it you may get side effects.. sorry for deleted message I got it wrong !! 🙏🏼

Hi Janelle and everybody
I've tried few times zinc supplements.
Each times after about 1 week, my state becomes worst (with 22mg zinc picolinat and 15mg zinc gluconat)...
I need help because I don’t understand...
Thx
Firstly do testing to ensure you have a zinc deficiency to begin with. It's possible that you are detoxing high copper when starting zinc. Just begin with a small amount of zinc for a week and see if you tolerate that. Increase if you do tolerate it. Stop it if you don't.
Thank for return...
After many zinc tries, I am going to follow your advice and stop my zinc supplementation.
Now I am going to try bisglycinate magnesium.
Thx
I have been wondering if i am low on zinc....i took it one afternoon and the next day my anxiety was better during the day but then got horrible toward the evening...does this mean i should try it again taking it regularly? I am 25 years old 200lbs 6'2 and took 40mg in tablet form
You can't take it once and expect the anxiety to go away. You will need to take it regularly to build up the zinc in your body. Saying that some people experience benefits within a week. But you do have to take it consistently. 😊
How effects now? Did it help you?
zinc is not stored in the body so how can a deficiency test show anything beyond levels on that specific day?
Excess zinc is not stored in the body, and the body doesn't have long-term stores. But the brain, bone, muscles etc do contain zinc, so bloods don't just reflect one specific day's level. Blood testing isn't a perfect measure for zinc but it's the best we've got
@@DrJanelleSinclair Thank you
I have multiple Chronic conditions such as Hypothyroidism, sinusitis and oral pain and no taste or smell and Anxiety is disabling me. I can feel strange like a cold panic sensation and it affects my digestion upset and is so overwhelming I can't think.
No taste or smell can be a symptom of zinc deficiency.
Zinc must ALWAYS be taken with Copper
Not if you are overmethylated...meaning you have an excess of copper.
I’m worried, so now I have anxiety 😰
Not if you have Pyroluria
Can I take zinc with lexapro?
Yes absolutely

Does Zinc Help with HOCD/OCD? I am helping my friend overcome HOCD
Yes I think it could be very helpful.
Can I take it with copper?
Alot of people with low zinc will have high copper, so copper can make some people feel worse. If you want to take copper, I would recommend you do blood testing for copper (and zinc) first.

@@kaustavchoudhury391 that's probably okay
When you first take it can it trigger your depression or anxiety?
Not normally, but start low on zinc and increase slowly. If you take zinc with vitamin B6 in it, for a small proportion of people the B6 can increase anxiety.

Of course zn is vital mineral for body::: I like this.(Dr.M.Ashraf.... consultant medicine)

I think you are wrong on this one. Zinc should never be supplemented. It can cause copper to dump if you take to much. You should only use food for zinc. oysters, pumpkin seeds etc. Also nausea from zinc is a sign of b6 deficiency
does usage of antidepressants cause a deficient in zinc ?
I haven't come across any evidence for that, however I have heard that some psychiatrists say that zinc helps reduce the side effects of antidepressants for some people.
I have been told that SSRI'S can deplete vitamin B2 and coenzyme Q10. Maybe you can look into that.

@@enlightenedhummingbird5101 seemed to help a little... but not a cure for me. I'm still looking.
@@TroyStewart17 Thanks for the reply! 😊 I've been taking 50mg per day for a couple weeks now. I have been much more energetic, with improved mood, but I've also added other things, so could be the combo. I've found great success from Dr. Carolyn Dean's products. I've taken her liquid mag for a couple years, on and off. I do think it's superior to other types of mag. I started taking her RNA ReBob at the same time as the zinc (a couple weeks ago) and I'm wondering if THAT is the reason for my brain and body boost. I've been doing research on the main ingredient (barley extract phosphorous) and this is something that's been used for hundreds of years to clear muck from ponds and waterways. Makes sense, then, that it would clear the muck from us, as our bodies are very much like aquariums. Just a thought. It's very expensive, though, so I'm researching how to make it myself. It looks like it's lactobacillus-fermented barley, but I don't know if it's the straw or the grain. I'm on an adventure. 😊 I hope you find your answer. 🌸
