The importance of zinc to good health and structural integrity is in that
it is found in every cell of the body. It is necessary for proper wound
healing, normal skin and immune system function, maintenance of taste,
smell, vision, and a healthy prostate. Body hormones, such as insulin,
growth hormones, sex hormones, and thymic hormones, all need zinc to perform
their proper action.1
Zinc is involved in over 200 enzymes, one of which is superoxide dismutase.1,2
Zinc, along with copper and manganese in Flex Naturally™, are needed
to activate this powerful free radical scavenger which protects the body
from the destructive effects of oxygen and other free radicals, thereby
reducing inflammation. 4,5 Zinc, along with boron, copper,
manganese, magnesium, selenium, chromium, and the other nutrients in Flex
Naturally™ work together to protect against free radical damage
and inflammation, pain, and stiffness while supporting the body to produce
and maintain healthy bone and cartilage tissue for improved joint function
and movement. 3,4,5
