Zinc is a chemical element which is also an essential micronutrient found in practically every cell in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as a trace metal or element. Several hundred known enzymes in your body function properly because zinc is a part of the enzyme structure itself. 

It is the second most abundant trace element in your body. 

Incredibly, over 2 billion people worldwide have zinc deficiency and sadly, it has been estimated that about 1 million children die each year in developing countries because of zinc deficiency. 

Interestingly, zinc deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency in crop plants. It is common in high pH soils and plants that grow in soil that is zinc-deficient are more susceptible to disease!

Great question!

Let me put it this way…….More than 300 enzymes in your body need zinc as a ‘copilot’ so that they can do their job well. 

Remember the last bad cold you had and how miserable it made you feel?

Zinc helps your immune system to fight invading bacteria and viruses. Some research findings implicate zinc as a potential treatment for the common cold.

Zinc promotes wound healing and my own research shows that it may actually help heal your heart after a major heart attack!

Zinc may reduce your migraine risk.

Your body needs zinc to support your ability to taste and smell.

Research findings have shown zinc supplementation to be associated with a lower risk of death from prostate cancer, and a higher dietary intake of zinc has been linked to a lower risk of pancreatic cancer. 

• Zinc has powerful antioxidant properties, which may make it effective in fighting cancer.
• Zinc may protect you from developing an eye condition called macular degeneration.
