Kirkman’s Zinc Sulfate Topical Cream is not a dietary supplement. This topical cream contains zinc sulfate.

Zinc is ubiquitously present in bodily cells and is a part of more than 200 enzymes, executing more enzymatic roles than any other mineral in mammals. It is vital for proper functioning of skin, sight, olfaction, gustation, procreation, neural growth, protein synthesis, and healing of wounds. It further serves as a pivotal factor in the efficiency of the immune system, where it assists in the regulation of “T” cells that bolster the body’s resistance.

Zinc levels in the body may be lowered for many reasons including the following:

• occasional diarrhea;
• fiber consumption, which causes zinc excretion through the intestinal tract
• perspiration;
• high calcium and iron consumption;
• copper ingestion.
Children and adults need between 10 mg and 50 mg daily.

Though 15mg of zinc is recommended daily, absorption complexity from phytic acid, perspiration, fiber, and other elements competing for absorption (copper, iron, calcium) often reduces this to 30-50%.
