Action
This nutritional supplement contains zinc. Zinc helps the body's natural defense against damaging free radicals (antioxidant effect) and helps boost immune function. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable chemicals generated during normal body activities that require oxygen (e.g., respiration, digestion, blood circulation, immune system response, etc.) and after exposure to UV light, cigarette smoke and various pollutants. One major effect of zinc is on the ability of cells to properly replicate the DNA, which is required for cells to multiply. Hence, zinc is needed for normal growth.
Zinc has other known functions/effects: See Table 1.
