If your teen is constantly exhausted, the issue may be nutritional — especially low zinc.
⸻
1. Zinc Deficiency
Zinc powers energy production. Low levels = low energy.
2. Poor Appetite
Zinc deficiency can cause appetite loss, which reduces nutrient intake and worsens fatigue.
3. Weak Immune System
Teens low in zinc get sick more often — draining energy.
4. Sleep Problems
Zinc supports melatonin and healthy sleep cycles.
5. Stress
Stress burns zinc rapidly.
6. Hormonal Shifts
Hormones trigger fatigue — and zinc helps regulate them.
7. Poor Diet
Processed food diets lack zinc entirely.
