Mechanism

How it actually
works.

Zinc is a cofactor for over 300 enzymes and a structural component of zinc-finger proteins that regulate gene expression. In skin, it's required for matrix-metalloproteinase activity (wound repair), superoxide-dismutase (antioxidant defense), and keratinocyte proliferation.*

Why this dose

The dose
rationale.

30 mg is at the upper end of common daily supplementation; the US tolerable upper intake level is 40 mg/day for adults. If you already take a multivitamin with zinc, sum the total — chronic intake above 40 mg can interfere with copper absorption.

a doctor first.
