Zinc
|
| |
| This essential mineral can be
found throughout the entire body. The highest concentrations are found
in the eyes, liver, bones, prostate and hair. |
| It performs a wide
variety of functions from it's most important role in maintaining
healthy reproduction and growth, to protecting our bodies from chemical
damage. It also ensures our sensitivity to tastes and smell and our
ability to see in the dark. |
| Despite it's essential role, the
body has a minimal ability to store zinc. This is supply is used up
quickly, making a continuous external supply necessary to maintain
health. |
