Zinc โ Nutrient Spotlight
๐ช๐ก๐๐ญ?๐ค
Zinc is an essential mineral and is a multi tasker with benefits. Its main vital role is to strengthen the immune system. Zinc is required for our immune cells to form properly and function. Without zinc, our immune activity slows down making us more susceptible to viruses and bacteria.
Our bodies do not produce zinc so I cannot emphasize the importance of eating zinc-high foods and/or taking a supplement high in zinc.
The RDA (recommended daily amount) is 11mg for men, 8mg for women. Up to 40mg is considered safe.
