Zinc is a mineral that is vital to many biological functions such as immune resistance, wound healing, digestion, reproduction, physical growth, diabetes control, taste and smell. The main biochemicals in which zinc has been found to be necessary include: enzymes and enzymatic function, carbohydrate metabolism and protein synthesis. More than 300 enzymes in the human body require zinc for proper functioning. It is estimated that 3000 of the 100,000 or so proteins involved in human life contain zinc. Many cells secrete zinc, including the pancreas (which also secretes insulin), the salivary gland, and the prostate gland. Immune cells also secrete zinc. Zinc is an important mineral which is essential for protein synthesis and which helps to regulate the production of cells in the body's immune system. Zinc is a constituent of insulin and male reproductive fluid. The following information is a summary about Nature's Plus Zinc.

ZINC SIDE EFFECTS, PRECAUTIONS, TOXICITY

Even though zinc is almost an essential requirement for a healthy body, too much zinc can be harmful to the human body. Excessive absorption of zinc into the human body can lead to reduced iron function, and impair the immune system. Experiments have also been conducted where the excessive intake of zinc led to nausea and vomiting within 30 minutes of ingestion. Zinc toxicity has been seen in both acute and chronic forms. The major consequence of long-term consumption of excessive zinc is copper deficiency. Zinc lozenges may lead to stomach ache, nausea, mouth irritation, and a bad taste. Marginal zinc deficiency may be a contributing factor in some cases of anemia. Zinc may decrease the absorption of oral quinolones, includeing ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and levofloxacin. Zinc interacts with NSAIDs and could reduce the absorption and effectiveness of these medications. Do not take zinc supplements and copper, iron, or phosphorus supplements at the same time. It is best to space doses of these products 2 hours apart, to get the full benefit from each dietary supplement.
