Zinc is recommended in small amounts, but it is essential for the proper functioning of our body.
In our modern society, zinc deficiency is an increasingly common disease. If we don’t eat enough zinc-rich food, our bodies show very serious symptoms of a deficiency. The less zinc we have in our body, the weaker our immune system becomes.
Zinc is essential for the proper functioning of metabolic processes. It regulates the hormonal balance, thus influencing the proper functioning of the endocrine system. It plays an important role in maintaining good vision, sense of smell and taste. Key to maintaining metabolic and blood sugar balance. Zinc also contributes to heart health as a natural antihypertensive.
Zinc is a mineral that we need in small amounts (max 40 mg/day) on a daily basis.
Natural sources: wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, oily sardines, edamame cheese, calf’s liver, beef, oatmeal, sunflower seeds, lentils, egg yolks, mushrooms, cocoa, nuts, peas, chickpeas.
