Nearly 100 different enzymes in the body depend on zinc. It’s a mineral involved in skin repair and in making DNA, the cells’ blueprint for replication. Zinc supports normal growth and development during gestation, in childhood, and in adolescence. You also need zinc for a proper sense of taste and smell.*

In addition, Zinc provides structure by helping to support proteins, such as those found in muscle tissue, and cell membranes. Zinc is also involved in supporting eye health.*
