Zinc is an essential nutrient which is part of the anti-oxidant cycle in the body.
Here at Forest Whole Food’s we think being a ‘food detective’ is so important (and fun too). Nutrition is so interesting (for food geeks like us) so we make sure we share as much information as possible.
Zinc is a co-factor for over 2oo metabolic enzymes! It is the first nutrient people think of when it comes to fertility and it is also essential for cognitive function. Whole grains can be a great source of zinc if you follow a plant based diet and want to avoid animal based sources such as red meat and seafood.
Vitamin E supports:
- Normal fertility and reproduction
- DNA synthesis
- Normal cognitive function
- Fertility and reproduction
- The maintenance of normal bones
- Protein synthesis
