A good place to get your zinc is from the sea: Oysters contain more zinc than any other food. Other food sources of zinc are from brewer's yeast, egg yolks, fish, soybeans, mushrooms, liver red meat, and poultry.
Zinc is also found in beans, nuts, and other non animal sources. Absorption is better with animal proteins. Therefore, vegetarians may need 50 percent more zinc.
