What is Zinc?

The immune-boosting essential trace element that is the foundation of a healthy body!

Zinc is an essential mineral that plays an important role in our body throughout our lives, during both prenatal and postnatal development. Found most commonly in red meat, poultry and fish, zinc is able to boost our immune system while staving off a wide range of ailments, such as:

●    Common cold, flu and ear Infections
●    Respiratory tract infections
●    Bladder infections
●    Parasite-caused diseases
●    Acne and topical skin conditions
 
Aside from food, zinc acetate, zinc gluconate and mineral salts such as zinc ascorbate are commonly used in dietary supplements. Mineral ascorbates are a group of salts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that may be better tolerated by the human body than ascorbic acid, allowing them to more easily assist in medicinal applications.
