In a recent study, USDA researchers found that a group of men who were put on a low zinc diet got tired more quickly while exercising than they did when they were put on a high zinc diet. Moreover, when they were low on zinc, their levels of a blood enzyme that protects against muscle soreness were 10% to 12% lower.
Good sources of zinc are wheat germ, wheat bran, whole grains, seafood, poultry, and meat. Although there are no set standards, if you take zinc in a multivitamin or as a supplement, you should limit your intake to no more than 25 milligrams per day. The USDA Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of zinc is 15 mg per day in supplement form.
