Vitamin E plays a role in protecting red blood cells against hemolysis; has protective effects against free radicals on polyunsaturated fatty acids found in cell membranes; plays a role in preventing oxidation of vitamin A and C. Zinc is a cofactor in over 100 enzymes; plays a role in DNA synthesis; supports a healthy immune system. Copper cofactor in many enzymes, including ceruloplasmin; involved in formation of iron carrier protein, transferrin. Helps maintain normal rates of red and white blood cell formation and helps prevent development of deficiency symptoms.
