(as Citrate-zinc citrate)
The total milling of cereals, a widely used processing method in the United Kingdom, causes a reduction of over 90% in the levels of zinc contained in these foods. This fact, combined with the new dietary trend that imposes lower consumption of animal protein, is very likely to be one of the reasons why 1 in 3 adults in the United Kingdom receive less zinc than recommended.
Zinc is an integral part of insulin, the hormone used to treat diabetes, and is essential for all protein syntheses that occur in the body. In cases of increased physical or mental demands on the body, as well as with increased consumption of dietary fiber, there may be a greater need for zinc or greater loss of zinc from the body, considering that fiber-rich foods inhibit the absorption of zinc by the body.
One-fifth of the zinc stored in the body is found in the skin. Zinc also aids tissue regeneration and participates in some of the enzymatic reactions necessary for the normal function of the skin's sebaceous glands.
It directly affects many organic systems such as the nervous, immune, and reproductive systems. It also maintains the proper function of senses such as taste and smell.
