Zinc is an essential trace mineral that has functions as part of about 300 different enzymes. As such, Zinc plays a role in virtually all biochemical pathways and physiological processes. More than 90% of the body’s Zinc is stored in the bones (30%) and muscles (60%), but Zinc is also found in practically all body tissues. The richest dietary source of Zinc is seafood (especially oysters), meat, fish, eggs, and poultry.
