Zinc Citrate
Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for many enzyme reactions and bodily functions. It is essential for growth and physical development, and for the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
A zinc deficiency may play a role in many chronic diseases, but it is best known for its pivotal role in the immune system. Zinc deficiency is known to cause the thymus to shrink and lead to an imbalance of immune cells. Thymulin, a zinc-containing thymus gland hormone, needs zinc to exert its biological activity and serum levels of active thymulin decline with aging. A significant percentage of the elderly have low serum zinc levels due to inadequate intake, impaired metabolism, inflammation and infection.

Ingredient Benefits
Offers powerful immune support
It is essential for the function of white blood cells to protect the body from invasion by bacteria and viruses and to regulate inflammation and wound healing.
Supports metabolism
Among the trace elements, zinc is the most used in the body and aids in the enzymes needed for the breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Zinc is part of the structure of over 2500 enzymes and is present in almost all the cells in the body.
Promotes skin health and wound healing
This trace mineral is needed for DNA synthesis, cell division, collagen formation, protein synthesis, tissue regeneration and wound repair.
Zinc and copper are so similar in their atomic structure that they can actually compete with one another, not only for absorption, but also for utilization in the body’s biochemical pathways. When zinc intake is excessive in relation to copper intake, the excess zinc actually interferes with the activity of enzymes, which depend on copper for their biological function, by stepping into copper’s proper binding sites within the enzymes. When copper is not properly incorporated into these enzymes, they can’t fulfill their biochemical duties.
