Zinc is an essential trace mineral. Every cell in the body needs this nutrient and hundreds of body processes rely on it, from the immune system and the enzymes that produce DNA to the senses of taste and smell. There's now evidence that supplements may also be useful in providing the extra zinc needed to fight cold and flu symptoms. Zinc is believed to promote a strong immune system by, among other things, revitalising the thymus gland and its production of white blood cells. In addition, zinc has shown promise for speeding the healing of canker sores and sore throat, promoting recovery from skin injuries, reducing tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and controlling acne and eye problems.

Caution
• When treating the majority of ailments mentioned: Take 30-50mg once a day. • For eye infections: Take 30-50mg a day for one month. • Absorption of copper may be compromised by long-term (a month or more) ingestion of zinc. • If you also take iron supplements, avoid absorption problems by taking the zinc two hours after the iron. • Because zinc may decrease the absorption of the antibiotics tetracyline, doxycycline, and minocycline, making them less effective, take zinc at least two hours after the antibiotic. • Zinc supplements can safely be combined with many prescription drugs for diabetes, but consult your doctor to ensure that your need for insulin doesn't change. • If you are a coffee drinker, be sure to take zinc supplements at least one hour before or two hours after drinking the coffee; the absorption of zinc is reduced by 50% when taken with coffee.
