LIPO LIFE - LLZ1 ZINC

Zinc, a nutrient found throughout your body, helps your immune system and metabolism function. Zinc is a trace mineral, meaning that the body only needs small amounts, and yet it is necessary for almost 100 enzymes to carry out vital chemical reactions. It is a major player in the creation of DNA, cell-growth, building proteins, healing damaged tissue and supporting a healthy immune system. Because zinc helps cells to grow and multiply, adequate zinc is required during times of rapid growth, such as childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy. Zinc is also involved with the senses of taste and smell.

Zinc may effectively reduce inflammation, support immune health, reduce your risk of age-related diseases, facilitate wound healing and improve acne symptoms.

The body doesn't store excess zinc, so it must be obtained regularly from the diet. The recommended daily amount of zinc is 8 milligrams (mg) for women and 11 mg for adult men.
