Description:
Zinc is one of the most important trace elements; it participates in the functioning of several enzymes. It can be found in each of our cells, but our body does not store it and deficiency could occur. We need zinc continuously and in certain cases – people living in an area where air is polluted, or lacking a balanced, mixed diet – it is worthwhile to supplement it in the form of a modern formula.

Zinc, naturally occurring in shellfish, whole grains, sprouts, legumes, vegetables, and dairy products, is one of the most important trace elements for good health. It is an activator of more than 70 enzymes, the proteins that are responsible for instigating a variety of crucial biochemical reactions in the body. One of the enzymes that relies on zinc is insulin, which is essential for proper carbohydrate metabolism and energy. Zinc is necessary for proper cell division, making it a very important element for the immune system, where cell replication requirements are huge. Zinc also plays a vital role in the function of the reproductive organs, and contributes to the structural integrity of many proteins in the body. Lack of zinc in cell membranes makes the cell more susceptible to oxidative damage from free radicals.

Zinc is not distributed evenly in the body. The brain, heart, and lungs tend to have more stable concentrations, while the amount in the blood, and in reproductive organs tends to vary according to the amount of zinc in the diet. Metabolic levels of zinc may be adversely affected by pollution, unbalanced diet, mental or physical stress, pregnancy, lactation, or illness.
