Zinc plays a vital role in immunity, protein metabolism, heme synthesis, growth & development, reproduction, digestion and antioxidant function.

Zinc is needed for:
The fatty acid LA/DGLA (linolenic acid/dihomogammalinolenic acid) and ALA/EPA (alpha linolenic acid/eicosapentaenoic acid) ratio are markers that indicate functional zinc deficiency.
