Zinc is present in nearly all body tissues, especially in the thyroid, pancreas and reproductive organs.  This mineral is involved in the body’s enzymatic reactions, the synthesis of proteins and in carbohydrate metabolism.  Because Zinc is essential to cell formation, it is needed for healing and maintaining healthy tissues.  For daily supplementation, each tablet supplies 50 mg. of essential Zinc, in an easy-to-digest, highly absorbable chelated form.
