Minerals of life - zinc

Zinc is one of the minerals of life found extensively in the body. It is an essential trace element. It is referred to as a trace element because it is required in very small amounts in all its functions in the body. Zinc is another ubiquitous mineral in the body. This combined with the small amounts needed for it to function, makes me to refer to it as “small but mighty.” Zinc has been said to be chemically similar to magnesium and together, both of them play very significant roles in the general wellness of the human being.
