Other benefits of zinc

Zinc plays other crucial roles in your body as well. It is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of your body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes. Zinc is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes that carry out essential biochemical reactions in your body.^2,6,7

Zinc-containing proteins are vital for hormone production and regulate protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production, as well as thyroid metabolism.^6,8 Zinc also helps maintain neurological and vision health especially for older people.^7,9,10
