Zinc for immune system, skin, hair, and more

However, zinc’s importance goes far beyond immune health. It contributes to fertility and helps maintain a normal testosterone level. Zinc also supports healthy skin, hair, and nails while protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Zinc is found in a wide range of foods. Good dietary sources include meat, fish, and dairy products. However, zinc from plant-based foods is less bioavailable because certain compounds, such as phytates in grains, inhibit absorption in the gut. For this reason, vegans and people with increased needs may benefit from additional zinc supplementation.

FormMed offers a wide selection of premium-quality zinc supplements — available in capsules, lozenges, with or without histidine, and as complex formulas with other essential micronutrients.
