| Zinc is an essential trace mineral. It is found in muscle, bone, skin, liver, pancreas, and other organs. Next to iron, it is the most available trace mineral in the human body. Zinc helps to boost immunity, repair wounds, maintain fertility, synthesize protein, aid in cell reproduction, and preserve vision. More than 300 enzymes in the body need zinc in order to function properly. A deficiency of zinc may impair the body's immune function. Zinc is not only necessary for healthy functioning of your body, but by bolstering the immune response, zinc may help reduce the severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms. Zinc Plus may be a key to continued good heath and for those times when you need an immune system boost. For those who have problems absorbing zinc, this formula is blended in a base of Pumpkin Seeds, Kelp and Dulse. These herbs are all rich in zinc and assist with maximum absorption.
