Zinc Sulphate
Zinc sulphate monohydrate is a trace element that has a role in several physiological enzyme systems. Zinc is required for normal growth and health. Zinc is also necessary for sexual development and reproduction, dark vision adaption, olfactory and gustatory activity, insulin storage and release, and a number of immune responses in the host. Impaired immune function, delayed wound healing, a decreased sense of taste and smell, a reduced ability to fight infections, poor night vision, an increased risk of abortion, alopecia, mental lethargy, skin changes, and poor reproductive organ development are all possible consequences of zinc deficiency.
