What does Zinc do in the Body?

Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in almost every cell. It stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body. Zinc supports a healthy immune system, helps maintain your sense of taste and smell and is needed to maintain healthy DNA synthesis. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.

A good intake of dietary zinc can help support and maintain:

Healthy growth in babies, infants and children
Healthy hair, skin and nails
Healthy immune function
Healthy bowel movements
Healthy male and female sexual function and reproduction
Eye Health
A healthy appetite

Who may need extra zinc?

Vegetarians may need as much as 50% more zinc than non-vegetarians because of the lower absorption of zinc from plant foods, so it is very important to include good sources of zinc.
