(2008 Jul) Zn with a half-life of 46.5hours. [39] Zinc has 10 nuclear isomers, of which 69mZn has the longest half-life, 13.76 h. [39] The superscript m indicates a metastable isotope. The nucleus of a metastable isotope is in an excited state and will return to the ground state by emitting a photon in the form of a gamma ray. 61 only use sauces like soy sauce, brown sauce, ketchup and mayonnaise sparingly, as these are often high in salt

Zinc is an essential trace element for humans, [4] [5] [6] animals, [7] plants [8] and for microorganisms [9] and is necessary for prenatal and postnatal development. [10] It is the second most abundant trace metal in humans after iron and it is the only metal which appears in all enzyme classes. [8] [6] Zinc is also an essential nutrient element for coral growth as it is an important cofactor for many enzymes. [11]

(2007 Summer) Zinc supplements vary in their dosages from 5–10 milligrams (mg) up to 25–45 mg, and sometimes higher. Dosages in the lower range are typically used as a daily preventative, whereas dosages in the higher range are typically used to treat chronic conditions and zinc deficiency. Salt is found naturally at low levels in all foods, but some salt is added to many processed foods, such as:

For good health, it is important that you eat a balanced and varied diet. Follow carefully any diet program your health care professional may recommend. For your specific dietary vitamin and/or mineral needs, ask your health care professional for a list of appropriate foods. If you think that you are not getting enough vitamins and/or minerals in your diet, you may choose to take a dietary supplement.
