Zinc Picolinate
What is zinc?
Zinc is an essential trace element that is involved in numerous processes in the human body. It helps build and break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins and plays an important role in growth, the immune system, sexual development and fertility. In addition, zinc supports the antioxidant protection system, protects the bones and contributes to mental effort, activity and stress resistance. Since the body can only store limited supplies of zinc, a continuous supply via food is necessary.
Zinc in our food
Animal products are the most important sources of zinc. Foods such as beef, pork, poultry, seafood (such as crab and lobster), eggs, milk, and cheese are high in zinc. Plant sources such as grains and nuts also contain zinc, but animal sources are generally better absorbed by the body.
