Description

Zinc is a mineral element found in the soil and most foods. It is an essential nutrient involved in many enzyme systems in the body. Indeed, zinc plays a role in more enzymatic reactions than any other mineral. It is part of many enzymes used for the proper digestion of fats, carbohydrates and protein.

Zinc is important for phosphorus and protein metabolism, prostate gland function, reproductive organ health (particularly males), and general organ growth and development. It helps form collagen in the body, promotes healing of burns and wounds, and generally decreases healing time of both internal and external injuries. This mineral can also help maintain good taste and smell acuity.
