Description
Zinc is essential for the maintenance of immune system strength and glandularhealth. It can be rapidly depleted when the body is fighting an illness. Zinc
is found in all organs, tissues and cells, and is involved in the function and
activation of over 200 enzymes. Zinc promotes immune system health by
activating the production of white blood cells and key hormones. Supplementing
with zinc in all stages of life helps to support a healthy endocrine system,
including the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal, pancreas and
reproductive glands. Excessive exposure to heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium and
lead), alcohol, tobacco, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides depletes the
bodys zinc stores. Zinc deficiencies may also result from excess stress.
