| 0:27.6 | I've done a lot of videos in zinc, but today we're going to talk about the importance of zinc for your muscles. Now, if you assess all the different body tissues and where most of the zinc is located in your body, |
| 0:33.6 | it just so happens to be in your muscles. |
| 0:36.6 | 49.5% of all of your to be in your muscles. Forty-nine point five percent of all of your zinc |
