Welcome to Mineral Mondays ✨
If you're new here, get ready to learn about essential vitamins and minerals your body needs — and may be quietly craving.
Today we’re talking about Zinc, one of the most important minerals for women’s wellness.
Zinc is one of the most important minerals for women’s immunity, hormonal balance, skin health, and cellular repair — and many women are unknowingly low in it.
🌱 Herbal Allies Rich in Zinc
These herbs don’t contain large amounts of zinc, but they enhance absorption, support immunity, and strengthen the systems zinc works with:
Nettle Leaf — mineral-rich + supports nutrient uptake
Moringa Leaf — contains trace zinc + boosts immune strength
Oatstraw — supports skin, nerves, and mineral balance
Red Raspberry Leaf — nourishes reproductive system + trace minerals
Rosemary — supports cellular repair + circulation
💛 Why Women Need Zinc
Supports hormone production (especially thyroid + reproductive hormones)
Strengthens immune function
Reduces skin inflammation (acne, eczema, breakouts)
Supports gut lining repair
Aids mood, cognition, and stress resilience
Zinc is often depleted by stress, poor sleep, hormonal changes, and inflammation — making it essential for women in perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, and high-stress seasons.
