Zink strengthens the immune system and provides beautiful skin and hair

Zinc is an essential trace element for most living beings and in the human body the second most common trace element after iron. High amounts of zinc occur in the red blood cells, eyes, skin, hair, prostate and liver.

Zinc can be of importance for the immune system, the body growth, the health of hair, skin and nails as well as the female and male fertility.

Zinc affects many cell functions: It is a component of many enzymes, involved in the hormone balance, the synthesis of DNA, RNA or proteins, and affects the cellular and humoral immunity.

It is a cofactor of numerous enzyme systems and plays a role in the vitamin A, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It also fulfils important tasks in the metabolism of nucleic acids and proteins. Zinc is involved in the cell growth and the cell differentiation.
