Zinc in the diet

Zinc is found mainly in meat, cheese, eggs, wholegrain products, pulses and nuts. How much of it is absorbed also depends on the phytate content of the meal, which is highest in wholegrain foods and pulses.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) gives reference values for adults, depending on phytate intake, of 7 to 10 mg per day for women and 11 to 16 mg per day for men.
