Zinc is a very important mineral that directs and oversees the efficient flow of body processes, and the maintenance of enzyme systems and cells. It is necessary for growth, wound healing, taste perception and is good for the appetite. It is essential for protein synthesis, governs the contractibility of muscles and helps in the formation of insulin. Most zinc in foods is lost during processing, or never exists in substantial amounts so a supplementary form is essential in maintaining adequate levels in the body. Our Zinc tablets each deliver 4mg of elemental Zinc, an excellent daily supplement.
