Insomnia or sleeplessness, photophobia, nervous disorders, impaired growth, thinning hair, hair loss, and slow healing of wounds are some the symptoms of zinc deficiency.
Vitamin C: This vitamin increases the absorption of zinc. Vitamin C is necessary for collagen production. Collagen is one of the connective tissue proteins found in various parts of the body including the skin, which strengthens skin tissue and prevents wrinkling. This vitamin by regulating the secretion of skin oil glands refreshes and enlivens the skin and prevents wrinkling. Also, it helps to maintain the health of the hair and faster healing of wounds.
