Here are some signs you're not getting enough zinc:

  • Poor immunity - you keep catching every virus that goes around
  • Poor skin - you have really bad acne, for example
  • Allergies - they cause stress and that depletes zinc in your body
  • Sleep trouble - zinc is one of the chemicals that helps you get a restful night's sleep
  • Hair loss - this has been linked with zinc deficiency as well as with thyroid problems
  • Slow body growth - many young people have mild zinc deficiency, even in the best countries
  • Infertility - zinc might be part of the problem
  • Attention deficit - zinc might be part of the problem
  • Alzheimer's - zinc deficiency is very common in the elderly, so it might be connected

The galvanised articles are prevented from rusting even if the zinc coating is broken .why?

A galvanized substance is that which has been coated with a layer of zinc to delay corrosion.It does this by the zinc getting corroded itself,instead of the substance. The outer layer of zinc of any galvanized material, reacts with the atmospheric oxygen to form Zinc Oxide (ZnO), which is stronger than Zinc. Thus, even if the outer layer of zinc undergoes corrosion, the material is getting coated with a stronger substance (ZnO), and thus is better able to resist corrosion.

When excess zinc metal is used in a reaction, it can be removed by simple filtration, as long as the particles are big enough. If the zinc particles are too small to be removed by filtration, other techniques such as centrifugation must be employed.
