Zinc
Monday, 26 January 2026 – 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Zinc is an essential trace mineral that plays a fundamental role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body, supporting everything from DNA synthesis and cell division to protein production and antioxidant defense. As a cofactor for numerous metalloenzymes, zinc is indispensable for maintaining cellular integrity, immune vigilance, and hormonal equilibrium. Despite its abundance in some foods zinc deficiency affects an estimated 17% of the global population, espcially in elderly, vegetarians, and those with malabsorption disorders. This deficiency arises from inadequate dietary intake, increased losses (e.g., via diarrhea or sweating), or impaired absorption, underscoring the importance of targeted supplementation to prevent widespread health repercussions. In our seminar methods of analysis and optimized dosage of supplementation will be discussed.
