What is Zinc?
Zinc is needed in small amounts every day in order to maintain health and perform important functions in the body each day. Zinc benefits the body in many ways; it helps with hormone production, growth and repair, improves immunity and facilitates digestion.
Zinc is essential to many organs and systems within the body including the skeletal, immune, neurological, and endocrine systems. Zinc is a necessary mineral co-factor for hundreds of enzymatic reactions related to protein and carbohydrate metabolism, RNA/DNA synthesis, and intercellular signalling. It is also known to play a critical role in the body's defence against oxidative processes and is especially helpful for maintenance of healthy aging.
