Zinc is an essential mineral for your health, so be sure you have enough zinc to keep you safe and enjoy a long life
Your body needs a variety of micronutrients and zinc is one of them. Zinc is anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, cardio-protective and an infection fighter. Zinc deficiencies or lower levels of zinc in the body -- caused by poor diet, oxidative stressors in the environment, the use of statin drugs and even natural aging -- can lead to or increase your risk for a variety of health issues.
