Zinc for Skin, Hormones and Immunity

Short answer: Zinc is an essential mineral that supports clear skin, hormone balance, and a healthy immune system. It is especially relevant for hormonal acne and the menstrual cycle, and many people don't get quite enough from diet alone.

Why zinc matters for hormones and skin

Zinc helps regulate oil production and inflammation (key for acne), supports the cycle, and is needed for immune function and wound healing. Low zinc shows up as breakouts, slow healing and frequent colds.

Benefits

  • Skin: supports a calmer, clearer complexion.
  • Hormones: supports the cycle and a balanced response to androgens.
  • Immunity: essential for immune defence.

Zinc glycinate is a well-absorbed form, it is included in Femme Flourish.
