Zinc is essential for the normal functioning of many organs and systems within the body, including the skeletal, immune, neurological, and endocrine systems.
Zinc is a mineral cofactor required for hundreds of enzymatic reactions related to protein and carbohydrate metabolism, RNA/DNA synthesis, and intercellular signaling.
It is also known to play a critical role in the body's free radical scavenging activities and is especially helpful in the maintenance of healthy aging.
