Now Hear This! Zinc May Support Ear Health

February 2004

Low zinc levels in the blood may compromise ear health, according to researchers at the Ankara Numune Research and Education Hospital in Turkey. Following a study of 28 subjects, researchers determined that oral zinc supplementation can provide support for healthy hearing. Study subjects were administered either 50 mg of zinc or a placebo daily for two months. At the end of the study favorable progress was detected in 46.4% of the subjects in the zinc group, leading researchers to conclude that zinc supplementation may play a beneficial role.
