Can Zink help with Langlebigkeit?

Zinc is an essential trace element involved in immune function, DNA repair, and antioxidant defense—processes theoretically linked to longevity. However, robust human evidence that zinc supplementation extends lifespan is lacking. Observational studies suggest associations between adequate zinc status and lower mortality, but these may reflect overall healthier lifestyles. MyBody-X tests do not directly measure zinc in standard panels. The evidence is primarily mechanistic and from animal models. Caution: high-dose zinc can be toxic and interfere with copper absorption. Supplementation should only be considered if deficiency is confirmed via blood test.
