Description
Zinc is a trace mineral that is involved in more than 300 enzyme reactions in the body, and is an essential metal cofactor for one kind of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a major class of antioxidant enzymes. It has been shown to help support immune function and has potent anti-viral activity. It is also an important nutrient for connective tissue repair and maintaining collagen integrity. Zinc is found throughout the body. The body doesn’t store excess zinc, so it must be obtained from the diet. If you do not eat foods high in zinc, such as red meat, poultry, eggs and fish, then adding zinc to your supplement regimen can help support a healthy immune system and keep you feeling your best.
Taking supplemental zinc long term can induce a copper deficiency, so ask your healthcare provider to check your blood levels of zinc and copper to ensure you get the correct amounts of each nutrient.
Recommended Dose: Take 1 cap daily with food. Taking zinc on an empty stomach can cause nausea.
