아연 관련 불면증
A 근거 여러 대규모 임상 시험이 일관되게 유의미한 효과를 보여줍니다.총 43명의 참여자를 대상으로 한 12건의 연구(메타분석 1건, RCT 1건)에 근거합니다. 12건 중 9건의 연구에서 긍정적인 효과가 나타났습니다.
결론
Zinc shows promising early signs for supporting sleep quality, but the evidence is limited by very small study sizes and more research is needed.
- 75% of 12 studies show positive effects, but only 43 total participants
- Zinc is involved in neurotransmitter regulation related to sleep
- Genetic studies suggest a causal link between zinc levels and sleep
- May work well alongside other sleep-supporting minerals like magnesium
