Because it has been found to support the healing process, zinc has been called the "healing" mineral. It is recommended that the pre- and post-operative patient should insure an adequate intake of zinc for this reason. Zinc is helpful for the respiratory systems and in stressful situations where the body must call on its healing capacity. Zinc has been a chief component of many topical preparations for burns, diaper rash, and other abrasive conditions.

Zinc deficiency can be manifested as growth retardation and sexual underdevelopment. Biochemically, zinc is involved in DNA biosynthesis and is thought to be the activator of collagen synthetase, an enzyme which is necessary for collagen biosynthesis and therefore tissue repair. Perspiration can cause a loss of up to 3 milligrams of zinc a day.

Zinc is essential for many body processes including protein synthesis and amino acid metabolism.  It has a role in the immune system function. Men typically need more zinc than women.
