The trace mineral zinc is involved in many of the body's own processes. For example, it is essential for normal acid-base balance, as well as for the metabolism of carbohydrates, vitamin A, and fats, as well as certain metabolic processes. Immune defense depends on adequate zinc. Along with iron, at approximately 1.5–2.5 g, it is one of the most essential trace minerals in our body in terms of quantity—approximately 70% is found in bones, skin, and hair. Regular and adequate dietary intake is essential because our bodies cannot produce zinc themselves. Smoking, a vegetarian or vegan diet, or high exposure to environmental pollutants mean that zinc is poorly absorbed from food. Therefore, in certain life situations, supporting the body with dietary supplements can be helpful. Zinc citrate from Pure Encapsulations is bound to citric acid, an endogenous substance, and is very well absorbed by the body.
