Answer 6

Zinc has antioxidant properties, is necessary for maintaining prober levels of Vitamin E in the blood, aids in the absorption of Vitamin A, promotes glandular and reproductive health, and supports proper functioning of the immune system.

Answer 7

Zinc is an important mineral activator of certain enzymes, such as carbonic anhydrase, which is important in the transport of carbon dioxide in the blood. Zinc also plays an important part in enabling your brain to process things because it buffers your enzymes. If you suffer from heavy metals (mercury, lead etc) in your body, you will require zinc to help get rid of them and rebuild your damaged enzymes.

I would like to correct one earlier post please. Zinc is not taken for prostate, that is saw palmetto which is widely used for support and prevention of deterioration esp in older men.
