Subscribe to RSSVegetarians and Vegans Can be Zinc Deficient
Posted by: Sina Ghaboussi | Jan 01, 2010
Zinc plays a role in many cellular processes. It is essential in the activity of many enzymes, protein and DNA synthesis, the immune system, wound healing, cell division, and is required for a normal sense of taste and smell. Zinc is necessary in growth and development in pregnancy and childhood. A daily intake of zinc is required to maintain a steady state since the body does not have a zinc storage system, like it has for calcium or iron.
