Zinc Ascorbate 60 vcaps | Pharmax
Zinc is the most abundant intracellular trace element and is involved in a large variety of enzymic, structural and regulatory physiological functions.

Background
Zinc is the most abundant intracellular trace element and is involved in a large variety of enzymic, structural and regulatory physiological functions. One of the critical structural functions of zinc is as a stabilizer of phospholipids and thio groups within cell membranes.

In childhood, zinc deficiency symptoms include impairment of
growth and poor appetite, which clearly could result in a
vicious cycle developing.

In the adult, mild zinc deficiency, especially in the elderly, leads to depression of the immune system. Specifically, zinc deficiency has been shown to:

•     Reduce the overall mass of lymphoid tissue.
•     Reduce thymus hormone activity.
•     Reduce functionality and number of lymphocytes, natural killer cells and neutrophils
•     Modify cytokine production

Male reproductive function can also be adversely affected by mild zinc deficiency.
