Mode of action

As a trace mineral, zinc is a component of many enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase, alcohol dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, DNA/RNA polymerase etc, which affects metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acid. Zinc is a component of thymosin hormone which regulates cell mediated immunity. It also affects luteal function. Normal growth and repair are dependent on adequate zinc. Zinc is probably related intimately to the process of cell division. Zinc is essential for gene expression, cell division, growth, hormone production, metabolism, appetite control, immune function, maintaining structural integrity & health of the hoof and udder, wound healing and epithelium maintenance.
