Health improvement through zinc supplementation and vitamin E supplementation in the elderly
View approved original textHide original text
Zinc is an essential mineral for maintaining health, playing a vital role in enhancing immune function and cell regeneration. During old age, physical functions tend to decline, making vitamin E intake necessary. Vitamin E helps prevent cellular damage through its antioxidant effects and alleviates symptoms related to aging. Therefore, zinc and vitamin E are used together to promote health and manage health in the elderly.
