Although zinc is needed in small amounts, a zinc deficiency can cause some serious and unpleasant side effects â like hair loss, problems with your sense of taste and smell or poor wound healing.

According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, women need 8 milligrams of zinc each day; 11 milligrams if they are pregnant and 12 milligrams of zinc daily if they are breastfeeding.
