Zinc

Zinc is an important contributor to normal immune function and protein synthesis, supporting over 300 enzymes in the body. This makes zinc (which is a mineral rather than a vitamin) multifunctional, with various benefits, from maintaining normal immune system functioning to supporting normal levels of skin health, cognitive function, fertility and reproduction, maintenance of bones, and hair and nail health. In addition, zinc helps with the normal processing of macronutrients such as fat, protein, and carbohydrates from food. Men need about 9.5mg of zinc per day, while women require around 7mg. Zinc can be found in meat, shellfish, dairy products like milk and cheese, bread, and cereal, while zinc supplements are available in multiple formats. We stock a wide selection of zinc tablets and zinc lozenges, both individually and combined with other vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and selenium.
