Zinc: essential trace element

The body only needs small amounts of the trace element, but continuously. As an essential component of more than 300 enzymes, zinc is involved in important metabolic processes. Furthermore, it supports the natural immune system and cell division processes.

Metabolism

Zinc contributes to a normal metabolism of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat) and carbohydrates in particular, the metabolism of fatty acids, vitamin A and a normal acid-base balance.

Further functions of zinc

The trace element zinc is able to protect the cells against oxidative stress caused, for example, by sunlight or an unhealthy way of life without sufficient sleep.
Additionally, zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, normal cognitive function and normal vision.

Zinc in food

High amounts of zinc can primarily be found in animal-based foods such as cheese, beef and liver. Plant-based foods such as bread, nuts or potatoes contain less zinc.
