E&M Vital Zinc plus Vitamin C
Zinc is a very important trace element that our body cannot produce itself and therefore depends on an adequate supply. Zinc is essential and involved in over 200 metabolic reactions in the body. It activates proteins so that they can do their important jobs as hormones and enzymes. These hormones include pancreatic insulin, thyroid hormones, sex hormones and growth hormone.
Zinc is important for building and maintaining genetic material and for cell growth. It protects against substances that can harm the body and supports the immune system. Zinc is a co-factor of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and is considered an indispensable antioxidant, especially in connection with Vit C.
