is an ACE inhibitor... over time it depletes ZINC...so you do not have
zinc available to convert T4 to T3...
Everyone on ACE inhibitors should be taking a zinc supplement.
Selenium is involved too, but to a lesser extent. And is not depleted by ACE inhibitors that we know of at this time. People eating foods from poor soils could be lower than otherwise. Brazil nuts remain a very good source.
But I'd worry about the zinc. Low zinc can also cause hair loss, and increased
frequency of infections/colds/flu/bronchitis etc. Low zinc impairs wound healing in the skin, and contributes to acne.
The best form of zinc right now on the market is OptiZinc.. one tablet daily of
this should be enough for most people.
