Zinc
Zinc is a mineral that is essential for the proper functioning of the human body. It is involved in many important physiological processes, including immune system function, wound healing, taste, and smell. Zinc is found in a variety of foods, including meat, seafood, and whole grains, and it is also available as a dietary supplement. Zinc supplements may be used to treat or prevent zinc deficiency, which can occur due to certain medical conditions, such as gastrointestinal disorders, alcohol abuse, and certain medications. Zinc supplements may also be used for other purposes, such as to boost the immune system, improve acne, and reduce the severity and duration of colds. There are several different forms of zinc supplements available, including zinc gluconate, zinc acetate, and zinc sulfate. The most common form of zinc supplements is zinc gluconate, which is well absorbed and is less likely to cause stomach-related side effects than other forms of zinc.

Pumpkin seed Oil
Pumpkin is a type of squash native to North America. Pumpkin is a good source of nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. It is also a rich source of antioxidants, particularly beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Pumpkin has been used historically as a dietary supplement for supporting eye health, boosting the immune system, reducing the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and helping to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Pumpkin is also a good source of fiber, which can help improve digestion and lower cholesterol levels. Both pumpkin and pumpkin seed extracts have been utilized for dietary supplement purposes.
