Zinc is the second most abundant trace mineral in the body and important to many functions of human health. It plays a role in maintaining cellular metabolism and gene expression, and is critical to a diverse group of physiological processes, including immune function, insulin signaling, tissue repair, vision, thyroid hormones, and neurotransmission. Zinc is second only to iron in worldwide incidence of deficiency, affecting an estimated 2 billion people in developing nations. Because zinc regulates such a wide range of functions, maintaining adequate levels is important for overall health.
Zinc is fundamental to the activity of over 100 enzymes and supports immune function, protein synthesis, tissue growth, DNA synthesis, and cell division. During pregnancy, infancy, and childhood, the body needs zinc for proper growth and development. Zinc also supports tissue repair and normal functioning of the senses of taste and smell. Daily intake of zinc is necessary to maintain adequate levels, because the body has no specialized zinc storage system.
Modern Endocrine Zinc provides 54 mg of highly absorbed zinc, formulated as the amino acid chelate form (zinc glycinate) for enhanced absorption, optimal utilization, and gastrointestinal comfort. Zinc glycinate does not ionize in the gut, so it is not impacted by dietary factors and is absorbed at higher rates than zinc salt forms… 230% better absorbed than zinc sulfate and 390% better absorbed than zinc oxide.
Zinc also plays a crucial role in supporting immune function, maintaining healthy tissue growth, and supporting the antioxidant reserves that protect the body from free-radical damage.
