Zinc is present in all bodily tissues and fluids, and forms an essential part of many enzymes that play a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and lipids. The presence of zinc in enzyme molecules is essential primarily for the catalytic function thereof, yet it also contributes to the fixation of their spatial structures. The main natural sources of zinc are whole grains, nuts, some legumes, asparagus, and eggs.‍

‍Zinc contributes to:

• Normal cognitive function
• Normal DNA synthesis, fertility and reproduction, cell division
• Normal metabolism of acids and bases, micronutrients, and vitamin A
• Normal protein synthesis
• Maintenance of normal bones, hair, nails, and skin
• Maintenance of normal blood testosterone levels
• Normal immune system function
• The protection of cells from oxidative stress
