Zinc: Promoting immune function and more

Zinc is a mineral that stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body. These reactions are essential for the formation of superoxide dismutase, one of the body’s most important free radical scavengers. Zinc also promotes immune function,116-119 taste sensitivity,120-123 protein and DNA synthesis,124-126 insulin production,127,128 reproductive organ development and sperm motility.129-131 Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.132-134

Zinc deficiency and the need for zinc supplements

Age-related declines in immune function are associated with zinc deficiency, and the elderly represent a group that is vulnerable to mild zinc deficiency. Certain aspects of immune function in the elderly have been found to improve with zinc supplementation.116-118, 120, 135
