Product description Zinc is a mineral that is known as an, "essential trace element," because of the very small amounts of zinc that are necessary for our health. Our bodies do not store extra zinc so it must be consumed regularly in order to get the zinc our bodies need. This can be done through natural sources such as red meat, poultry, and fish, or can also be added through supplementation. Some of the possible consequences of zinc deficiency may include but are not limited to: Poor sense of taste and smell Rough and dry skin Loss of appetite Slowed Growth Diarrhea Nausea Zinc Picolinate Zinc is an essential mineral.
