Pharmacology

The role and characteristics of zinc In the body, zinc is an essential micronutrient that is very important for the development and maintenance of the body's activities. Zinc participates in the composition of more than 300 metabolic enzymes, affects many biological processes, especially the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins, and helps the immune system to fight infections (especially respiratory and gastrointestinal infections).
Zinc is distinguished by its short biological life (12.5 days) and is not stored in the body. Therefore, it is easy to be deficient in zinc if the daily diet does not provide enough.
