Why is zinc so important to the body?
- Zinc is important to the body because over 300 enzymes in our body use it as an essential component in their action.
- Zinc is essential in supporting our immune system, in synthesising and degrading DNA, in wound healing and several other activities.
- Our body requires very small amount of Zinc, but if the level falls down to below normal it may result into growth retardation, diarrhoea, eye and skin lesions and loss of appetite
