Think of Zinc:

Zinc, is not just for putting on your nose at a sunny beach. It is an essential mineral that most are deficient in. 

WORD OF CAUTION: Do not over medicate with zinc, it can become toxic, and will also interfere with copper absorbtion, which is another necessary mineral.

So why Zinc? 
It is responsible for in helping cell proliferation (cell division, think breast growth) , helps prevent acne, helps boost immune system and fights common cold.

  "Zinc is needed for the production of estrogen and progesterone in women, which both support reproductive health. Either too high or too low levels of estrogens can cause problems with menstruation, mood swings, early menopause, infertility and possibly even increase the risk for certain cancers.Aids in Nutrient Absorption and DigestionZinc affects protein synthesis and is required by the body to use amino acids from foods. It’s also involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates from foods, which are one of the main sources of energy for the body. For this reason, deficiency in zinc can cause low energy levels and contribute to adrenal or chronic fatigue, whereas consuming enough zinc benefits ongoing energy and a healthy metabolism.https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/minerals/health-benefits-of-zinc.htmlIn the human body, there are more than 300 different enzymes that require zinc to function normally. Researchers believe that 3,000 proteins out of approximately 100,000, have this vital mineral.Stimulates Protein SynthesisZinc acts as an antioxidant and is involved in some of the biochemically decisive reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, enzymatic function, and carbohydrate metabolism. Since this mineral is involved in so many integral systems and functions of the body, it cannot be stressed enough – You must include it in your diet!Regulates Cell GrowthZinc is an essential component in a number of enzymes that help in regulating cell growth, protein synthesis, hormonal level, DNA, regulating gene transcription, energy metabolism, and other related functions."
• since zinc is a necessary mineral, I wonder, if we take a low-dose supplement daily, would this enhance the NBE experience, with additional gains?  I am waiting for some to come in, due to a persistent cold I have, but I find this research intriguing in its implications about cell division. ...
