Why Zinc Matters for Everyday Health

Zinc is more than just a mineral—it’s essential to many of the body’s biological functions. It plays a role in over 300 enzymes, supporting key processes that help maintain overall well-being.*

Among its well-established functions:

• Supports a healthy immune system

• Contributes to the formation of proteins and DNA

• Plays a role in normal growth and development, especially during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood

• Involved in taste and smell perception

• Supports the body’s natural wound-healing processes

Zinc is found throughout the body—in organs, tissues, and even fluids. In fact, the majority of zinc is stored in muscles and bones, and about 95% is inside our cells. However, unlike some other nutrients, the body doesn’t have a dedicated storage system for zinc. That means regular intake through food or supplements is necessary to help meet daily needs.

To support your zinc intake, many people choose supplements—either on their own or combined with Vitamin C, which can complement zinc’s nutritional benefits in supporting immune function and cellular health.*
