Zinc Supplementation
- Molecular classification
- Mineral Supplement
01
Overview
Zinc supplementation refers to the use of zinc, an essential trace mineral, in dietary supplement form. Zinc is vital for numerous biological processes, including immune function, DNA synthesis, cell growth and division, protein synthesis, wound healing, and the senses of taste and smell. It acts as a cofactor for nearly 100 enzymes involved in various metabolic pathways.
