Although their contents in the human body are extremely low, even less than 0.01 wt%, trace elements are essential for the human body. As a kind of trace element, zinc plays an important role in human growth and development, reproductive inheritance, immunity, endocrine and other important physiological processes. At the same time, zinc deficiency is also a common phenomenon among Chinese children. Through the fictional experience of the fictional Zinc Gu Cheng, this article uses the anthropomorphic approach to popularize the role of zinc. Finally, the story ends with a little girl's dream. We hope that through this short story, people can understand the importance of zinc to the human body and realize the indispensable role of trace elements.
- Zinc,
- Physical and chemical property,
- Physiological function,
- Zinc supplement
