Zinc Picolinate is a mineral that is vital to many biological functions such as immune resistance, wound healing, digestion, reproduction, physical growth, diabetes control, taste and smell.

The main biochemicals in which zinc has been found to be necessary include: enzymes and enzymatic function, carbohydrate metabolism and protein synthesis. More than 300 enzymes in the human body require zinc for proper functioning. It is estimated that 3000 of the 100,000 or so proteins involved in human life contain zinc.

Many cells secrete zinc, including the pancreas (which also secretes insulin), the salivary gland, and the prostate gland . Immune cells also secrete zinc.

Zinc is an important mineral which is essential for protein synthesis and which helps to regulate the production of cells in the body's immune system. Zinc is a constituent of insulin and male reproductive fluid. Stored primarily in muscle, zinc is also found in high concentrations in red and white blood cells, the retina of the eye, bones, skin, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. In men, the prostate gland stores high amounts of zinc.

Having a healthy zinc intake is also important for maintaining healthy skin. Several research studies have shown that zinc is effective for helping to treat acne, pimples, and even the skin disorder eczema.
