Zinc – 120 Veggie Capsules

Zinc is an essential trace mineral and it presents itself in every cell throughout our body. Playing a vital role in countless ways, Zinc is necessary for numerous processes such as, protein synthesis, DNA synthesis, gene expression, and enzyme reaction. Zinc helps stimulate the activity of over 300 different enzymes. These enzyme reactions are essential for creating our DNA, cell growth and division. Improving your Zinc levels through supplementation may reduce the risk of chronic diseases linked to inflammation. Zinc can improve immune function by boosting T cell activity to protect your body from infection and heal damaged tissue.

As Zinc is not produced or stored in the body naturally, it is important to know that it must be obtained from food or supplements. Nuts, various dairy products, poultry, red meat, fish, and whole grain fortified cereals are all food sources that contain Zinc. If you are not consuming enough of these sources from your diet, you may risk a Zinc deficiency which can lead to increased susceptibility to pathogens. A vegetarian diet may require added Zinc because of the low bioavailability from plant- based foods.

Zinc may significantly reduce age related diseases and relieve oxidative stress. Acting as an essential part in regulating how our neurons communicate with one another, Zinc can improve memory and the capacity to retain information.
