Zinc has been called the "healing" mineral. It has been found that it supports the healing process. It is therefore recommended that the pre- and post-operative patient should insure an adequate intake of zinc. Zinc is helpful for the respiratory systems and stress in which the body must call on its healing capacity. Zinc has been a chief component of many topical preparations for burns, diaper rash, and other abrasive conditions. Zinc deficiency can be manifested as growth retardation and sexual underdevelopment. Biochemically, Zinc is involved in DNA biosynthesis and is thought to be the activator of collagen synthetase, an enzyme which is necessary for collagen biosynthesis and hence tissue repair.

Zinc is essential for many body processes including protein synthesis and amino acid metabolism.  It has a role in the immune system function.

Sweating can cause a loss of up to 3 milligrams a day. Men typically need more zinc than women.
