Zinc is one of the most important minerals in the human body. It stimulates the activity of over 300 enzymes, is present in every tissue, and is directly needed for cell division. The benefits of zinc on immune function are well-known, but not many people know it’s also vital for the proper function of red blood cells.

Zinc is a powerful antioxidant and is directly involved in proper endocrine function and maintenance of ideal hormonal levels. It is closely involved in the actions of insulin and IGF-1 and influences the absorption and the activation of vitamin A. Arguably its most important role in the body is in cell repair and growth. A slight deficiency in Zinc can have disastrous effects on the body, affecting virility in both men and women, decreasing resistance to oxidative stress and accelerating cellular aging.
