Zinc
Essential for human health
Zinc is essential for our health. The trace element plays a role in a variety of metabolic processes: it is involved in the function of around 300 enzymes in cell metabolism and is contained in 50 enzymes. For example, it is important for protein synthesis and cell division - and therefore also contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails. The body also relies on zinc to maintain normal hormone levels (e.g. testosterone). The trace element is also important for digestion, blood formation, sperm production and the immune system.

There are about two grams of zinc in the human body. We store most of it in our skin, hair and bones. However, as zinc can only be stored for a short time and the body cannot produce the trace element itself, it must be supplied via the daily diet or a high-quality dietary supplement.
Animal foods, including fish and seafood, often contain higher amounts of zinc compared to plant-based foods. Offal in particular is very rich in zinc. However, pumpkin seeds, oatmeal, cheese and nuts are also rich in natural zinc.
Zinc is an essential trace element and indispensable for numerous processes in our body. In particular, our body's immune function is dependent on zinc levels. A sufficient intake of zinc can therefore help to strengthen the immune system and stay healthy, especially during the cold season.
A zinc deficiency can be caused by an increased need (pregnant women and nursing mothers), an increased loss (e.g. athletes lose zinc through sweat) or a reduced intake.
