The Science and Pharmacology of Zinc
Zinc is a trace element that is involved in catalytic, coactive and structural roles in over 300 enzyme processes throughout the body, including DNA replication, protein synthesis and cell division. Zinc promotes healthy immune system function and is also vital to bone health.
Preliminary scientific data suggests that Zinc may provide significant emotional health benefits when it used as a dietary supplement. Although the exact mechanism of action is not yet understood, a cross section of clinical research studies indicates that there is a direct link between low blood-zinc levels and depressed mood. In several clinical trials, participants observed improvement in depressed mood in conjunction with oral Zinc administration.
