Zinc is an integral part of our metabolic pathways, responsible for keeping us healthy and safe. Not only does zinc have a role in immune cell division which helps the body to fight off daily threats, but it's also necessary for reproductive health, skin integrity and growth. Numerous studies demonstrate its vital importance when it comes to maintaining normal levels of immunity - without adequate intake through diet or supplementation we may leave ourselves vulnerable against disease-causing agents.

Zinc is a nutrient with antioxidative properties; its cofactor role in the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) enables it to provide free radical protection. A zinc deficiency has been linked to increased oxidative damage, whereas supplementation can enhance SOD activity for greater defense against damaging molecules.

Keeping your zinc levels in check can be essential for protecting yourself against toxic heavy metals like cadmium and lead. Unfortunately, the elderly, pregnant women who require higher amounts of this crucial trace element and those with pre-existing conditions may struggle to maintain adequate intake from their diets alone. Vegetarians specifically have been found to frequently experience low zinc status – meaning it's important for them to take extra precaution when making sure they receive enough through other sources such as supplementation or fortified foods. Zinc picolinate is a highly bioavailable form of zinc, making it an ideal supplement to support overall health. Its potency as a metal chelator makes it an especially effective agent for detoxifying the body and eliminating potentially harmful metals from the system.

Zinc Picolinate may be a beneficial supplement for those looking to up their zinc intake, an important nutrient essential in supporting healthy body functions.
