Zinc 90 Capsules by Holistic

Zinc 90 Capsules from Holistic provide your daily zinc requirement in a single capsule. Zinc is one of the body’s most important micronutrients, involved in over 300 different enzyme reactions – truly a superhero nutrient.

The product contains three organic forms of zinc: malate, picolinate, and bisglycinate. The latter is an amino acid chelated zinc from Albion® which has significantly better absorption than non-chelated forms, as it forms free ions in the intestines necessary for effective uptake.

An Essential Mineral

Zinc can be found in oysters, shellfish, beef, beans, sunflower seeds, almonds, and pumpkin seeds. However, it is one of the hardest minerals for the body to absorb from food, and we cannot store zinc in our bodies, which means we must consume it continuously. Zinc absorption is promoted by protein while phytic acid, found in seeds such as grains, legumes, and nuts, inhibits absorption. Vegetarians should therefore ensure they get enough zinc. Zinc deficiency is also one of the most common mineral deficiencies among Swedes.

Here is an overview of why zinc as a dietary supplement is considered beneficial for health in various ways:

• Immune System Support: Zinc plays an important role in maintaining a strong and healthy immune system. It is crucial for the production and function of white blood cells that fight infections and diseases.
• Wound Healing and Tissue Repair: Zinc is necessary to stimulate wound healing and tissue repair by promoting cell division and growth. It can help speed up the healing process for wounds, injuries, and surgical procedures.
• Antioxidant Action: As an antioxidant, zinc can help combat free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. This can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and age-related health issues.
• Hormonal Balance: Zinc is important for the production and regulation of hormones in the body, including insulin, thyroid hormones, and sex hormones. It plays a role in reproductive health and can help balance hormonal levels.
• Improved Fertility: Zinc is critical for reproductive function in both men and women. In men, zinc deficiency can lead to reduced sperm quality and fertility, while in women, it can affect ovulation and hormonal balance.
• Mental Well-being: Zinc is important for brain health and function. It can help improve cognitive functions, reduce anxiety and depression, and promote an overall sense of well-being.
• Skin Health: Zinc plays an important role in skin health and can help reduce acne, eczema, and other skin problems by regulating sebum production, promoting wound healing, and combating inflammation.
• Bone Health: Zinc is necessary to maintain strong and healthy bone tissue. It can help prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of fractures by promoting bone mineralization and growth.

Maintaining a balanced and adequate zinc level in the body is crucial for supporting many vital functions and maintaining optimal health. It is important to get enough zinc through diet or supplements to meet the body’s needs.

Benefits of Zinc

For those who exercise regularly, zinc is one of the most important minerals to monitor. Zinc contributes to the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and is therefore important for both energy burning and muscle growth. Zinc is involved in the most common enzyme (carbonic anhydrase) used both for the function of the sense of smell and in our taste buds. Zinc is also needed for our production of saliva. Without saliva, taste chemicals cannot be transported to the taste buds on the tongue, which use them to distinguish between sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and acts as an antioxidant by protecting cells against oxidative stress. Zinc also contributes to normal cognitive function, which is beneficial for your brain. It also helps maintain normal bones, hair, nails, skin, acid-base balance, and vision. For those who are or want to become pregnant, it is good to know that zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction and helps maintain normal testosterone levels in the blood.
