Lamberts Zinc 30mg (as Gluconate) 100 tablets Price: £5.25 (incl VAT) (Buy 3 or more for £4.99 each)     The principle role of any trace element is that of promoting the catalytic action of enzymes. Zinc is an invaluable mineral takingpart in dehydrogenation and peptidase processes. It is specific for carboxypeptidase, the enzyme that removes the terminal amino acid from the carboxy end of a peptide. It is also specific for carboxylic anhydrase, the enzyme responsible for the ultimate elimination of carbon dioxide from an organism (and in the production of hydrochloric acid in theparietal cells of the stomach mucosa). Zinc is also an integral part of insulin, the hormone used for the treatment of diabetes, and is essential for all protein synthesis in the body. Any extra physical or mental demands made on the body can increase the need for zinc or cause our bodies to lose extra zinc, whereas phytate and fibre rich foods inhibit the absorption of zinc from food. One fifth of zinc in the body is found to be in skin. Zinc helps tissue renewal and is involved in some of the enzymatic reactions necessary for skin's normal oil gland function. The maintenance of the health of several body systems such as the nervous, immune and reproductive systems are influenced byy zinc, as are the senses of taste and smell.
