Zinc is a mineral essential for the normal growth and development of the body, as it is required for the function of over 300 enzymes involved in various biochemical reactions.
Despite its importance, the body cannot produce zinc on its own, so we must ensure sufficient intake through our diet.
The best sources of this mineral are of animal origin – including red meat, seafood, eggs, and dairy products. However, it can also be found in plant-based sources such as legumes, nuts, and wholegrain products.
