 What is it for?
Chemists' Own Zinc Complex can assist in the prevention and treatment of acne, reduce the incidence of minor skin disorders including eczema and psoriasis, aid wound healing and support immune function.
Zinc is an essential mineral, and is important for healthy functioning of the sebaceous glands and helps to reduce sebum production that can lead to acne. It is also involved in many aspects of male reproductive health including the manufacture of sperm and the maintenance of healthy sperm count and prostate function.
How does it work?
- Research has shown that more than three quarters of all adolescent females and adult females 25 - 44 years have Zinc intakes below the Australian recommended dietary intake (RDI).
- Zinc requirements can be increased in the elderly, teenagers, men, heavy drinkers and during pregnancy.
Is it suitable for me?
- Not suitable for children and pregnant women.
