Zinc 20mg Biomax Series 250 caps Kirkman Labs

Zinc is present in all cells of the body and is also a component of more than 200 enzymes and involved in more enzymatic reactions than any other mineral constituent in mammals. Zinc is essential for normal skin, vision, smell, taste, reproduction, brain development, protein synthesis and wound healing. It is also one of the most important factors in a healthy immune system. Zinc is involved in almost every aspect of the immune system, including the immune system that increases the “T” cells that are necessary for the immune system's response.

Zinc levels in the body can be reduced for many reasons, including the following:

• occasional diarrhea;

• fiber consumption, which causes zinc excretion from the intestinal tract;

• sweating;

• high consumption of calcium and iron;

• copper intake.

Children and adults need between 10 mg and 50 mg per day.

Although the recommended daily value is 15 mg, it is generally recognized that 30% to 50% of the zinc ingested is not absorbed due to complexation with phytic acid, loss of perspiration, transport of fibers through the intestines or because of competition for absorption with copper, iron and calcium.

How to Use: 1 Capsule per day or according to medical prescription
