Zinc

Next to iron, zinc is the most common mineral in the body and is found in every cell. It has been used to help heal wounds and plays an important role in the immune system, reproduction, growth, taste, vision, and smell, blood clotting, and proper insulin and thyroid function.

It is a major player in the creation of DNA, growth of cells, building proteins, and healing damaged tissue.

Zinc deficiency can result in skin changes that look like eczema at first, but do not improve with moisturisers, steroid creams or lotions. You may also experience symptoms including hair loss, more frequent infections, wounds that take a long time to heal and diarrhea.

Because zinc has many functions throughout the body, zinc deficiency affects many different tissues and organs. Zinc deficiency can affect skin; bones; and the digestive, reproductive, central nervous, and immune systems.
