Zinc is a metal that stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are the substances that promote biochemical reactions within our body. These reactions are vital for the formation of superoxide dismutase, which is the main defense of our organism against the destructive free radicals. Zinc enhances the function of the immune system, enhances taste and helps in the synthesis of proteins and DNA. It also helps in the production of insulin, the development of reproductive organs and sperm motility, while promoting healthy development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence. The gradual weakening of the immune system observed with increasing age is associated with zinc deficiency. Indeed, the elderly are a particularly susceptible group to zinc deficiency. Research has shown that some of the immune functions of the elderly improve when they take zinc supplements. The Zinc Lozenges with Vitamin C provide the immune system with the support it needs during the winter. The zinc lozenges are sweetened with sucrose and mannitol and have a natural orange flavor.
