Nature’s Sunshine Zinc is an excellent mixture of algae, alfalfa, thyme and zinc. It wasn’t until 1961 that researchers discovered the importance of zinc to the diet. Zinc deficiency in younger growing bodies can affect a host of systems, including the nervous, skeletal, immune and reproductive systems. It can also affect the function of the gastrointestinal tract and the skin.

The trace mineral zinc is involved in hundreds of important functions in the body, including sugar metabolism, DNA formation, protein metabolism and energy production. It is also needed for the growth and development of bones. Pregnant and lactating women require extra zinc. Zinc helps maintain healthy bones, nails, hair and skin, ensures proper acid-base balance, proper metabolism of micronutrients, supports fertility and reproductive functions. Zinc is vital for proper eyesight. The product contains thyme leaf as well, which has traditionally been used to improve digestion, but also has a soothing and pleasant effect on the throat and vocal cords. Thyme is native to the Mediterranean region, and Romans were known to eat it to ward off food poisoning. Before the onset of refrigeration, people regularly cooked with thyme to help protect against spoilage. According to research, the active constituent thymol provides antioxidant and immune-modulatory benefits.
