Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace mineral. The body needs only small amounts, yet deficiency has wide effects. Like iron or calcium, zinc is found in key tissues — muscle, bone, the retina and the prostate. Stores deplete quickly and need regular topping up.

What NSP Zinc is

Among Nature’s Sunshine mineral formulas, zinc is a staple. Practitioners recommend zinc for immune, nervous and reproductive support and for healthy enzyme activity. Each tablet provides 15 mg — a practical way to meet daily needs.

What zinc does

NSP Zinc reflects the many roles this nutrient plays:

• Enzyme activity — zinc is a cofactor in around 300 human enzymes;
• Supports nervous-system function, mood and mental sharpness;
• Takes part in protein synthesis and cell renewal — low levels can show up as early skin ageing;
• Helps vitamin A work for healthy vision;
• Helps balance other metals (iron, copper, lead, cadmium) — shortage can allow them to build up;
• Supports pancreatic function and hormone production, including insulin;
• Supports sperm production and testosterone — deficiency can affect potency and libido;
• Supports the nervous system through the menopause.

How to take

Do not exceed the suggested dose; follow a nutritionist’s advice if you have one. A full bottle covers about 120 days — courses can be split with breaks.

Take 1 tablet daily with food.
