About
Zinc is an essential trace mineral in the body and is especially important when it comes to skin healing, as well as for the overall health of our hair and nails too.
As a powerful antioxidant, zinc is crucial for cellular repair and is a key component needed for the natural production of collagen in the body. If we’re not getting enough zinc, this not only leads to less collagen production but can result in symptoms such as hair loss, brittle nails, roughened skin and delayed wound healing.
The ultimate beauty mineral, research has shown that supplementing with zinc can improve acne, assist with hair loss, and also help to support skin complaints such as psoriasis and rosacea.
