INFORMATION ON ZINC A.A.C.

Zinc is an essential mineral involved in regulating over 100 enzymes, and therefore, involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism.

Many studies have illustrated Zinc's important role in proper immune functioning, and potent antioxidant properties.

Zinc is a well-studied supplement used in the treatment of the common cold. It has been found that both the severity and the duration of cold symptoms are reduced with Zinc supplementation.

Research reported that Zinc supplementation reduces the severity and the duration of diarrhoea, especially in Zinc deficient children and infants. It has also been shown that Zinc can repair damaged intestinal mucosa.

Zinc can normalise testosterone levels in men, where low testosterone is caused by over exercise, or zinc deficiency.

In addition, Zinc supplementation can aid in the treatment of Wilson’s disease, by regulating how much copper the body absorbs or releases. Wilson’s disease is characterised by too much copper in the body.

Zinc can aid in wound healing as it helps maintain the integrity of the skin and mucosal membrane.

It has been reported that Zinc can help treat age-related macular degeneration. Zinc supplementation delays the progression of macular degeneration and vision loss by preventing cellular damage to the retina.

Some research has shown that Zinc may play a role in reducing depression, where depression is treatment resistant. It’s also been noted that Zinc can improve overall mood, as well as reduce aggressive symptoms. 

Zinc supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.

Where there is a Zinc deficiency, supplementation can:  improve insulin efficiency and reduce blood glucose, reduce LDL cholesterol, reduce the risk for artherosclerosis, improve cognition in stroke patients, reduce body weight, reduce the risk of oesophageal cancer, help treat taste disorder, help with muscle cramps and decrease bone loss in osteoporosis.

Early research suggests that high doses of Zinc supplementation, are able to treat viral warts and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus.

How it works:

Zinc is an essential mineral involved in regulating over 100 enzymes and, therefore, involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism.

Zinc is needed for the body to develop and activate T-lymphocytes, critical to an immune response.

It is thought that Zinc treats cold symptoms by inhibiting rhinovirus binding and replication in the nasal mucosa, as well as suppressing inflammation.
