Taking a high quality zinc supplement such as Solgar Chelated Zinc is a good way to prevent zinc deficiency. Zinc is an antioxidant mineral that is essential for a number of enzymatic processes. Most people do not get enough zinc through diet alone. A deficiency in zinc can lead to the following: slowing wound repair, reduced brain function, hair loss and diarrhoea. Zinc is also necessary for insulin formation and activity, maintaining a healthy reproductive and immune system, healthy liver function, skin health and hormone production.
The chelate process delivers minerals which have the highest absorption and utilisation rates because the chelate may be able to take the minerals directly into the cells. The 1-a-day dosage of Solgar Chelated Zinc will contribute to normal hair, skin and nails maintenance, carbohydrate metabolism, cognitive function, fertility and reproduction, metabolism of Vitamin A, testosterone levels in the blood, vision function, immune system function, maintenance of normal bones and protection of cells from oxidative stress.
