Deutsch: Zink / Español: Zinc / Português: Zinco / Français: Zinc / Italiano: Zinco
Zinc is an essential trace element that plays a critical role in human nutrition, serving as a cofactor for over 300 enzymes and influencing numerous physiological processes. As a micronutrient, it is indispensable for immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, and DNA replication, yet the body cannot store it in significant amounts, necessitating regular dietary intake. In the context of food, zinc is both a naturally occurring component in various foods and a fortificant added to processed products to address deficiencies, particularly in populations with limited access to zinc-rich diets.
