Zinc is an essential mineral that is naturally found in shellfish, red meat, nuts and seeds, beans and dairy products. Zinc is present in almost every cell of the body, where it is involved in numerous aspects of cellular activity and metabolism.
Because our bodies do not have a storage system for zinc, we need to get our daily intake of zinc from zinc-containing foods or dietary supplements. Zinc is also present in homeopathic medications such as Zicam® cold remedies, which are used to shorten the duration of the common cold and help relieve nasal congestion.
