Zinc deficiency

'Think of this guy with mud in his beard all around his mouth, the armour making him slow physically which complements his lack of mental sharpness

The costume hides his huge liver and spleen - and you thought they had a round belly due to quaffing ale! I almost hesitate to mention to poor chaps small genitalia..'

The features of zinc deficiency this will make you remember are thus:

• mental lethargy
• dwarfism
• hepatosplenomegaly
• hypogonadism
• geophagia
