Zinc is one of the most represented trace elements and is therefore essential for the human body. Although the human body needs it in small quantities, its deficiency can cause numerous health problems. Many cellular biological processes stall, skin becomes dry, cracked and itchy. Even wound healing processes can be impaired.
This mineral is involved in the work of over a hundred enzymes, which regulate the physiological functions of the body. Along with mineral selenium, zinc binds heavy metals such as lead, which build up in the body. Minerals and heavy metals form an insoluble complex, in which heavy metals lose their toxic effects. In this way, minerals protect the body, especially nerve cells, from damage by heavy metals. It plays a role in the processes of cell division and growth, sexual maturation and reproduction, and allows the immune system to function normally. Specifically, zinc affects the formation and activation of T-lymphocytes, which are white blood cells important in the fight against infection. Processes such as maintaining normal hormone balance are also zinc-dependent processes.
Studies show that the role of zinc in the body is as significant as the role of calcium or magnesium. If zinc were not present in our body, we would not be able to form the class of alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes, which ensure the breakdown of alcohol. Without alcohol dehydrogenase, every glass of wine would cause alcohol intoxication. There are many dietary forms of zinc, and Natural Elements offers a zinc product, which is bound to picolinic acid. It is scientifically proven that this compound can be better absorbed by the body than conventional zinc compounds such as zinc citrate.
