Among these there is a particularly important enzyme in the creation of genetic material-DNA-and therefore important for cell division. That is why zinc is a mineral needed for proper growth. Another important is the enzyme SOD, superoxide dismutase, which is an antioxidant enzyme that protects cells against free radicals harmful. Most of the body of zinc comes from animal products, especially meat, and some cereal products.
