Zinc is an element and a metal. It is required in trace quantities by the human body. Thousands of proteins in the body include zinc in their chemical composition.<\/p>\n

Zinc plays a role not only in the chemical composition of the body, but also in its operation.<\/p>\n

Some types of cells in the human body secrete zinc ions, including cells in the immune system. Since the immune system is central to the allergy<\/a> mechanism, zinc is an important element to consider when dealing with allergies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The recommended daily allowance<\/a> for zinc is 10 to 15mg (various sources differ in RDA).<\/p>\n
