What is zinc and why is it important for human health?
Zinc is an essential trace mineral that is required by the human body in small amounts to maintain good health. Unlike other minerals, the body doesn't have a specialized zinc storage system, so it must be consumed regularly as part of the diet. Common dietary sources of zinc include red meat, poultry, and fish.
Zinc is involved in many aspects of cellular metabolism and is required for the catalytic activity of approximately 100 enzymes. It also plays a role in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, sleep cycle, DNA synthesis, and cell division. In addition, zinc supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence and is required for the proper sense of taste and smell.
It's important to maintain a steady intake of zinc, as the body doesn't have a specialized zinc storage system. One recommended form of zinc supplement is zinc citrate, which is well-tolerated and well-absorbed. However, it's important to note that zinc citrate should not be taken along with aluminium-containing drugs, as citrate can enhance the absorption of aluminium. The suggested use of zinc citrate is 1 capsule one to three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
Directions for use
As a mineral food supplement, 1 capsule daily with a meal.
