Cytoplan's Wholefood Zinc supplement is made from hydroponically grown Brassica, a cruciferous vegetable similar to broccoli.
Each zinc capsule provides 7.5mg of zinc. Zinc has many roles including contributing to normal vision, immune function, cognitive function, fertility and reproduction, maintaining normal testosterone levels and protecting cells from oxidative stress; this means it is an antioxidant.
Zinc is the second most abundant trace mineral in the body, being present in all tissue.
Soil depletion of zinc has reduced the levels available in vegetables causing issues with zinc deficiency, and much zinc is removed from food during processing which is why taking a zinc supplement to support your diet should be considered.
