Zinc Lozenges - 60 Lozenges | Life Extension

Zinc is an essential mineral needed for many of your body’s functions. Among these functions are antioxidant properties, promotion of healthy immune and reproductive organs and taste sensitivity. Besides, it supports proper development during pregnancy and childhood.

Maintaining adequate levels of zinc is equally important to ageing adults. As people grow older, their immune function declines, partly due to the decreasing size and function of the thymus gland. Evidence suggests that zinc may help to maintain healthy function of the thymus gland in elderly people. Moreover, a zinc deficiency in elderly adults may contribute to age-related immune decline, immunosenescence.
