Description

Zinc citrate is a form of zinc, an essential mineral necessary for proper growth and overall maintenance of human health. Zinc is found in all organs, tissues and fluids in the body and is responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions. It has a critical role in maintaining metabolic pathways, immune system health, protein synthesis, wound healing and cell division.

Our bodies cannot produce nor store zinc, so a daily intake is required to maintain healthy zinc levels to maintain health and enable our bodies to perform important functions each day. Zinc is found in all organs, tissues and fluids in the body. It has a critical role in maintaining metabolic pathways, immune system health, protein synthesis, wound healing and cell division.

Immune function

Zinc is essential for the normal development and function of many immune cells and plays a vital role in the healthy working for our immune system. A crucial part of the immune system are ‘T-Cells’. Zinc regulates immune function by controlling immune response and activating T-Cells, they attack and stabilize cells that are infected with germs or that have become cancerous.

It has long been used as an effective, natural common cold remedy with it being present in many cold and flu lozenges. Scientists have found that by taking zinc supplement you can successfully reduce the severity of the symptoms and shorten the duration of a cold as well as other illnesses.

Boost immunity and lowers risk of infection
Acts as an antioxidant to reduce fat peroxides in blood
Zinc controls blood clotting health.

Brain Function

Function It’s well noted that zinc plays a significant role in regulating overall neurotransmitter activity, the activity responsible for sending messages from nerve to nerve throughout your brain and central nervous system. Everything your body does is connected in some way to your nervous system, making zinc especially important for maintaining nervous system health.

Zinc has positive effects on brain function and cognitive performance. With zinc levels in transmitters and neurons of the hippocampus greatly influence neurological function. A zinc deficiency and the manifestation of neurological disorders such as depression and impaired memory have been well linked.

In studies supplementing with zinc has been proven to rectify such ailments and result in; superior neuropsychological performance, particularly attention and reasoning skills, Increase mental development and motor quality in infants, protect against cognitive decline in the elderly as well as enhance cognitive recovery in those who experienced an ischemic stroke.

Zinc boosts cognition and protects neurons
Zinc helps treat psychiatric disorders
Zinc reduces stress and improves mood
Zinc improves sleep quality and duration

Heart Health

Zinc contributes towards the normal functioning and overall health of the heart. Due to its powerful anti-atherogenic properties, Zinc is able to reduce plaque accruement in the blood vessels. A build up of plaque in blood vessels such as coronary arteries, will result in a blood vessel that are constricted and inflexible.

If not resolved this will lead to a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack. Fortunately, the progression of atherosclerosis (a disease in which plaque builds up inside arteries) can successfully be halted with Zinc supplementation.

In addition, Zinc plays a key role in regulating the way calcium moves in heart cells. Normally, calcium is released through gates known as type-2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2). Controlling RyR2 receptors is essential to prevent excessive calcium release, which can cause heart failure and fatal arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat). Zinc works by directly regulating RyR2 function and ensures the right balance of calcium is realised from intracellular calcium stores!

Regulate calcium within the heart

VISION

Vision is by far one of the most important senses and plays a vital role in day to day life. Besides melanin being a pigment that gives eyes their colour, it also has a more essential role. It both protects against damage and aids visual acuity. Melanin located within the iris filters harmful light and protects sensitive retinal tissue. Zinc plays an important role in the production of melanin; it works by transporting vitamin A from the liver to the retina to produced melanin.

The National Eye institute have been studying the relationship between Zinc supplementation and the slowing down age related macular degeneration. A medical condition which results in blurred or no vision in the centre of the visual field. Evidence suggests that Zinc plays a protective role against cellular damage to the eye and can help to delay the progress of age related macular degeneration!

Transfers vitamin A for the production of melanin
Protects the eye against cellular damage
A Zinc deficiency has been well linked to impaired vision such as cloudy cataracts and poor night vision.

Skin health and Wound Healing

Healing Zinc is a potent factor in healing due to its essential role in cell division, DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, collagen formation and immune function – all necessary processes for tissue regeneration and wound healing. It acts as an essential catalyst in these critical functions and it is well documented that a deficiency will cause a delay in tissue repair.

Immediately after skin injury the haemostasis phase begins, the clumping together of platelets in the blood is part of a sequence leading to the formation of a fibrin clot that will stop blood loss. Activation of the platelets is delayed within those who have low levels of Zinc, resulting in increased bleeding time.

During the inflammation stage of healing a number of zinc dependant factors align for wound healing and appropriate immune response. Zinc is an essential component of proliferating cells which clear the wound of debris and signal the inflammatory cytokines, growth factors and enzymes. Zinc is then required to maintain cell wall stability, DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. An absence of adequate zinc at the cellular level would result in poor, delayed granulation and wound closure.

Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, zinc is especially beneficial for inflammatory acne and related scarring. Zinc is also well-known to support the production of collagen, which is needed for skin repair and growth among other things.

Prevents skin cell death from oxidative stress and bacterial toxins
Zinc enhances wound healing and tissue repair
Clinicians recommend Zinc supplements for those with skin ulcers
Plays a role in haemostasis (blood clotting)
Is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent

Men’s Health

Although Zinc supplementation is beneficial for every one of all ages, it has additional benefits that are exclusive to men. Zinc content is high in male adult testis, and the prostate has a higher concentration of zinc than any other organ in the body. However Zinc is lost in sweat, so those who regularly workout are certainly going to benefit from Zinc supplementation.
