Zinc Research
Zinc is an essential mineral that is naturally present in some foods,
added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Zinc is also
found in many cold lozenges and some over-the-counter drugs sold as cold
remedies.
Zinc is involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism. It is
required for the catalytic activity of approximately 100 enzymes and it
plays a role in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA
synthesis, and cell division. Zinc also supports normal growth and
development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence and is required
for proper sense of taste and smell. A daily intake of zinc is required
to maintain a steady state because the body has no specialized zinc
storage system.
