How does zinc actually work?Updated 18 days ago

Zinc travels to key cells that fight infection and help control inflammation when a virus or bacteria invades the body. Zinc deficiency can reduce the production and efficiency of immune cells, increasing the risk of inflammation and infection. Adequate zinc levels keep the immune system functioning optimally, even when fatigued from training, helping to avoid sickness and lost training time.
