Thrush is a fungal infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida albicans, a yeast organism that naturally exists in the body.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body and is present in every tissue and organ. Despite its importance, zinc deficiency is increasingly common—even in developed countries—largely due to soil depletion from modern farming practices and the widespread consumption of processed foods. Food refining and processing significantly reduce […]
