Zinc is an essential element involved in most major metabolic pathways. General zinc deficiency has been recognized in the U.S. population. Studies on the role of zinc in the body indicate that zinc has an important function in maintaining immune function, reproduction, healthy skin and growth. Numerous studies support the fundamental role of zinc in healthy immune response in humans. Immune cells must be able to rapidly divide to respond to immune challenges. Like all rapidly dividing cells, immune cells depend on adequate amounts of dietary zinc.

 Zinc deficiency has been shown to be widespread in the U.S. Frequently, vegetarians and chronically depressed individuals have been found to have low zinc status. Finally, individuals who are dealing with stress, are immune challenged or are hospitalized will usually have low zinc levels.
