What role does Zink play in Allergie?

The role of zinc in allergies is a complex topic not directly addressed in the provided knowledge base. Generally, zinc is an essential trace element for immune function. It influences immune cells such as mast cells and basophils, which release histamine during allergic reactions. Zinc deficiency may theoretically disrupt immune regulation and exacerbate allergic symptoms. However, the evidence is mostly mechanistic, derived from cell and animal studies; large human clinical trials are lacking. According to the context, the MyBody-X test does not include zinc-related genetic markers. Therefore, the test cannot provide information about personal zinc status or allergy risk. For individual advice on zinc and allergies, blood tests (e.g., serum zinc levels) and medical evaluation are necessary. The available information does not allow an evidence-based statement on the specific role of zinc in allergies.
