What to know

An essential trace mineral needed for over 300 enzyme reactions, immune function, wound healing, protein synthesis, and DNA synthesis. Added to fortified cereals and processed foods as zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, or zinc gluconate. Excessive zinc intake (>40 mg/day for adults from supplements) can impair copper absorption and cause gastrointestinal distress; amounts in food are well within safe limits.
