Nativa Complex Zinc Plus Caps 60

Nativa Complex Zinc Plus is a zinc-centred capsule from one of South Africa's best-known supplement houses. Zinc is the mineral most closely tied to frontline immune defence and skin repair, and this 60-capsule bottle gives two months of daily support. It is a good fit for adults who pick up infections easily, teenagers and adults with breakouts, and anyone whose cuts and blemishes are slow to heal. Zinc is required by more than 300 enzymes. It is essential for immune cell development, wound repair, normal skin and the senses of taste and smell. Vitamin C supports the function of white blood cells, protects cells from oxidative stress and is required to build collagen in skin, gums and blood vessels. It also improves the absorption of iron from food.

Zinc is not stored in the body, so your immune system and skin depend on what you take in each day. The body has no zinc store, so a steady daily intake matters. Diets low in red meat and high in grains or legumes supply less absorbable zinc, and needs rise during infection, wound healing and adolescence.
