Yes, many Americans have a zinc deficiency. Zinc is necessary for balancing out copper, another trace minerals our bodies need a touch of. Often those who do not regularly consume nutrient-dense (like grass-fed) meats and other animal products have the most risk of deficiency. "The fact is that the micronutrient copper is widely available in unrefined foods,2 but the mineral zinc, needed in larger amounts to balance copper, can only reliably be obtained in optimum amounts from land-based animal foods, in particular eggs and red meats.3 These of course are among the foods that have been most stubbornly attacked by mainstream nutrition authorities. They are also among the foods lacto-vegetarians and others who have conscientiously adopted light diets have the most difficulty in reintroducing."

Sometimes a zinc supplement is helpful, but the sustainable way to keep up adequate zinc is through a healthy diet.
