Zinc is a mineral co-factor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions related to protein and carbohydrate metabolism, RNA/DNA synthesis and intercellular signaling. Zinc is essential to the normal function of many organs and systems within the body; supporting healthy immune, skeletal, neurological, and endocrine functions. Dietary bioavailability of zinc is relatively poor, so NOW® Zinc Glycinate (also known as Bisglycinate) is chelated to improve absorption and bioavailability.
