• Supports Enzyme Functions

Zinc is a co-factor of many enzyme systems and plays a key role in several enzyme reactions of the human body. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

Zinc's requirement for the synthesis of DNA (genetic material) and new tissue make it a vital mineral for normal growth and development in early childhood. Zinc is also required for the creation of T-lymphocytes that attack viruses and pathogenic bacteria. In addition, it participates in many metabolic and chemical reactions in the kidneys, liver, pancreas and brain, which is why it directly affects many organic systems, such as the nervous, immune and reproductive.

Supplemental zinc is effective for some types of skin problems and may help speed up the healing process of wounds. In addition, it suppresses the metabolism of prostate androgens and can benefit the male body in middle and old age.

NOW's Zinc Picolinate 50 mg formulation in picolinate form, the most absorbable form, is particularly useful in cases of infertility, as zinc deficiency can cause chromosomal changes in men and women.
