zink-supplement
I would like to know how big a portion of zink must be in one's daily diet to repair your immune system? If your white blood cell's count is low, what kind of supplement can you take to rectify it?

Dear Reader
According to the SA Recommended Dietary Allowances, an adult needs to take 15 mg a day. You will find plenty of excellent vitamin and mineral supplements at your chemist - try Centrum or Supradyn. The immune system is also boosted by omega-3 fatty acids - so try taking Salmon oil capsules for a few months.
