Product Details

Zinc is a mineral that stimulates the activity of approximately 300 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body.121,122 These reactions are essential for the formation of superoxide dismutase, one of the bodys most important free radical scavengers. Zinc also promotes immune function,123-126 taste sensitivity,127-130 protein and DNA synthesis,131-133 insulin production,134,135 reproductive organ development and sperm motility.136-138 Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.139-141 Age-related declines in immune function are associated with zinc deficiency, and the elderly represent a group that is vulnerable to mild zinc deficiency.
