Nutritional
Zinc
An essential trace mineral involved in immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and over 100 enzymatic processes.
Optimal Range
80-120 μg/dL (optimal)
Why It Matters
Zinc deficiency impairs immune function, slows wound healing, and accelerates thymic involution (immune aging). It is commonly depleted by stress, aging, and plant-heavy diets.
