Below is a link with video describing the many benefits of zinc, with particular regard to athletes and bodybuilders. It also contains links to various zinc supplements many bottles for less than $5! Check it out for a quick over view of what zinc can do for you, and easy access to various forms of supplements.
While this site emphasizes body building, and the ways zinc can support that, it mentions general muscle growth as well as immune and bone support. While it doesn't delve very deep into the mechanisms of how, it does tell then end result which holds true to what I have discovered in my research. We know zinc supports osteoblastic cell activity and inhibits oscteoclastic cell activity, which results in increased bone density, it also provides structural component of muscle development in the form of zinc finer motif, this according to Linus Pauling Institute and Live Strong. It is important in all muscle development, but primarily in times of rapid growth including strength conditioning (bodybuilding) or pregnancy.
