Zinc is a moisturizer. By the way, men need more zinc than women do . . . for reasons that we're men, ahem.
While about half of the total body zinc is in the bones, the skin contains nearly 6% of total body zinc. #zinc #bones #skin #health #drcarolyndean

Bill Sardi does an excellent job of mapping out the best strategy for supplementing with zinc.
Mineral supplement users are often advised to maintain a zinc/copper balance (10 to 1?) so as not to raise circulating cholesterol levels. Yet up to 45 milligrams of zinc has been used without accompanying copper without adverse effects.
Interesting.
There are many confounding factors (zinc depleting drugs, high fructose corn syrup, copper piping and alcohol, calcium and iron pills that block zinc absorption) that are often not accounted for in controlled studies and obscure the realization that zinc therapy is an obvious way to save lives.
Zinc really is too important for you to go deficient in. Look what it does for the heart following a heart attack.
