Product Description
Zinc is responsible for wound healing, our metabolism and tissue repair. It is only required in small amounts, however most of us are deficient. A deficiency could be responsible for many conditions and illnesses – could you be deficient?
Zinc is an essential required by the body, and is responsible for over 200 different functions. Though zinc is a heavy metal, we all require a small amount in our diet; however, most of us simply don’t get enough.

Involved in hundreds of enzymatic processes, zinc is pivotal for the metabolism of protein, carbohydrate, fat and alcohol.
