It aids in the absorption of B vitamins, it is a constituent of at least 25 enzyme systems and is a component of insulin and of superoxide dismutase. Further, zinc is essential for growth and development of the sexual organs, prostate function, it is required for protein synthesis and collagen formation, promotes healthy immune system and healing of wounds. It is important for the formation of bones and plays a role in carbohydrate and phosphorus metabolism.
Zinc also allows acuity of taste and smell. Several factors including phytates, oxalates and calcium, naturally decrease zinc‘s bioavailability in the diet. The selective binding agent picolinic acid has been shown to promote bioavailability and intestinal absorption of dietary zinc. In young patients it was found that the symptoms of acrodermatitis enteropathica could be prevented with less than 10% the level of zinc otherwise required when supplemented with picolinic acid.

Zinc to strenthen your nails
by AIA on A1A -
I know zinc works to strenthen my nails. when I forget to take my twice a day capsule, I develop ridges on my nails and then they begin to break (split). When I go back to regular twice a day dosage, symptoms reverse.

Not just zinc
by Jack
I really like that this product contains both zinc and copper -- for more long term use so that you don't deplete yourself of copper while taking zinc. You get more than simply just zinc in this product!
