Zinc plays a central role in immune resilience, yet athletes may deplete levels through sweat. Low zinc impairs recovery and increases infection risk. Meeting the RDA (8–11 mg/day) from seafood, meat, seeds, and fortified foods ensures coverage. During illness or heavy training blocks, supplementation may offer an edge. Zinc is small in dose but big in impact—especially for active bodies.
