As an essential trace mineral, zinc is second to iron as the most plentiful trace element in the body. It is needed for a number of enzymatic functions in the body, as well as for immune function, prostate health, antioxidant production and more.³⁴

When you think zinc, think productivity. From helping to create new skin cells to boosting the immune system, this mineral works overtime to produce the cells you need to keep healthy.³⁶ Over 200 enzymes have been identified as zinc dependant.³⁷

Zinc is essential for the growth of healthy cells which in turn can help the immune system stay strong.⁴¹ Zinc's quick cell replication skills come in handy when you have cuts or wounds. It's vital for the production of collagen, the connective tissue that helps wounds heal.³⁶

Zinc plays an important role in wound healing.³⁵ It is involved in healing and repair of all tissues. The healing is accelerated and the resistance to infection is enhanced. Tests have shown that the rate of healing TRIPLED after using zinc.³⁷

Zinc supplementation is essential before and after any surgical procedure. Calamine lotion derives its healing power from its rich zinc content.³⁸ Zinc is also found in many cold lozenges and some over-the-counter cold remedies.³⁵

In 1976, Dr. Robert Henkin, a Neurologist at The Center for Molecular Nutrition and Sensory Disorders in Washington DC, said "In the farthest reaches of our imagination, I don't think we have any idea how important and how widespread zinc deficiency problems are."³⁷

Zinc, in the case of Restless Leg Syndrome, can aid in the absorption of minerals such as iron to help prevent deficiencies, in addition to having a calming ingredient.³⁹

There's no denying that Zinc plays a vital role in the overall health of our body.⁴⁰
