What is Zinc?

It is known as an “essential trace mineral” because it is only required in very small amounts for the health of humans. Zinc is an essential mineral, so it can’t be stored by the body. It is therefore important to include it in your diet regularly. Zinc is required in small quantities, but its lack can cause serious health conditions, such as shortness of stature, reduced taste of food, and inability to function of the testes and the ovaries. Zinc is an essential nutrient for your body.

This page will tell you everything you need about zinc. It includes its functions, its health benefits, its dosage recommendations, its research, and the best supplements that contain zinc.

Body Processes that Require Zinc

Zinc cannot be stored by the body, so you must consume it constantly. Zinc is required for many life processes, including:

  • Growth and Development
  • Wound healing
  • Immune function
  • DNA Synthesis
  • Protein synthesis
  • Expression of Genes
  • Enzymatic reactions

 

Benefits of Zinc

Zinc has been known to have a wide range of health benefits for centuries. It is essential for good health and plays a role in many processes within the body. Zinc is essential to every organ. Every cell in our body needs zinc. View its health benefits in more detail:

  • Reducing inflammation

Oxidative Stress leads to Chronic Inflammation and increases susceptibility for illnesses related to the heart, CNS, and respiration. Zinc reduces oxidative stresses and the amount of certain inflammation proteins in the human body.

  • Cold and flu symptoms can be reduced

Zinc has been shown to naturally reduce inflammation. It may help to ease cold and flu symptoms. Many syrups and lozenges contain zinc.

  • Immune system booster

Zinc boosts your immune system. It is essential for the functioning of immune cells and cell signaling. Its deficiency may lead to a weakened immune system. Zinc supplements help boost the immune system and reduce oxidative stress. Zinc can also improve immunity and reduce the risk of infection in older adults.

  • Cognitive memory enhancement

Zinc plays a vital role in the regulation of neuronal communication, which affects how memories are formed. It helps improve cognitive memory. Zinc sulfate has been shown to improve the social and behavioral abilities of people with memory loss.

  • Reducing oxidative stress

Zinc supplements help boost the immune system and reduce oxidative damage. Zinc can also improve immunity and reduce the risk of developing health problems.

  • Healing of Wounds

Zinc is essential for healing because it plays a critical role in collagen synthesis and immune system enhancement. In hospitals, zinc is used to improve the recovery of burns, ulcers, and skin injuries. A zinc deficiency, on the other hand, can cause wounds to heal slowly. Zinc supplements can correct this.

  • Helping respiratory function

Zinc has been shown to naturally reduce inflammation and soothe cold and flu symptoms. It may help improve respiratory function. Many syrups and lozenges also contain it.

  • Supporting eye function

It is known that zinc and antioxidants improve the function of the eye. They may help reduce the risk of advanced AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) as well as reduce loss of visual acuity. Zinc supplements, along with antioxidants, are often given to improve vision.

  • Acne and rejuvenation of the skin

Zinc is essential for the integrity, structure, and function of the skin. Zinc is essential for skin health, protein production, and DNA synthesis. Zinc is essential for the growth and development of our bodies since it aids in cell division and growth. Zinc is necessary for skin healing, and can help with skin lesions and skin problems.

Acne occurs when bacterial or viral infections block the oil glands. Zinc has been shown to reduce infection risk, and improve skin healing and function. Zinc levels may be lower in acne patients. Zinc is therefore an ingredient in skin creams and acne creams.

  • Addressing diarrhea

Diarrhea in children is a serious health concern that’s associated with malnutrition, and a high mortality rate. A zinc deficiency can alter the immune response, and increase susceptibility to infection, including those that cause diarrhea. This is especially true for children. Zinc reduces the risk of infection naturally. Chronic diarrhea may also cause excessive zinc loss. Zinc supplements, such as zinc acetate or zinc gluconate can help to reduce nutritional gaps and speed up healing.

  • Men and women can both benefit from improved reproductive health

Zinc is necessary for cell division, growth, and development. Zinc is therefore needed for growth and development during pregnancy. The need for zinc increases during pregnancy. Pregnant women are therefore given zinc to prevent zinc deficiency. Also, zinc is needed for lactation. Women who are pregnant or lactating have a higher need for zinc, which can range from 11-13 milligrams a day depending on their age.

 

Zinc deficiency is linked to a lower bone mass. To reduce bone loss, it is recommended to take zinc in combination with manganese, copper, and calcium.

Men also need zinc to function optimally. Zinc has also been known to enhance spermatogenesis. Men need zinc for their overall health.

 

Sources of Zinc

 

Zinc is found in a variety of foods, including beans, oysters, and nuts. Other sources include whole grains and fortified cereals.

Zinc is known to have antiviral properties, which has sparked a huge interest in the metal. People searching for ways to increase immunity are using terms such as Zinc Coronavirus. The demand for zinc tablets and lozenges has risen. You must not exceed the daily recommended dose of zinc, which is 8 mg/day or 11 mg/day respectively for men and women.

Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc sulfate, zinc gluconate, zinc chloride, and zinc acetate. Each form has a different percentage. Choose zinc citrate, zinc gluconate, or zinc gluconate, as these are more absorbable. Avoid zinc oxide, which is less absorbable.

Zinc intake for pregnant and lactating mothers is increased to 11-13 mg per day depending on age.

 

Zinc Deficiency

Zinc deficiency may not be unknown, but it is uncommon in the USA. A zinc deficiency is marked by growth retardation and immune dysfunction. A severe deficiency can cause diarrhea, impotence, and hair loss, as well as eye and skin lesions. Zinc deficiency can also cause weight loss, mental lethargy, and delayed wound healing. Zinc intravenously or by mouth can help restore zinc levels in people who are zinc-deficient.

The absorption of zinc may be decreased by large amounts of iron supplements (greater than 25 mg). Iron supplements taken between meals can help reduce its impact on zinc absorption.

Modern Research

Zinc has been the subject of numerous clinical studies to determine its therapeutic benefits.

Some of the research conducted includes:

  • Zinc is not equally bio-available and more than 150 mg of Zinc can cause toxicity. One must be cautious as not all Zinc is bio-available and more than 150mg of Zinc may cause toxicity.
  • Researchers have found that zinc can help improve immunity and reduce oxidative stress. Zinc is a mineral that can enhance immune cells, and reduce oxidative stress.
  • The study shows that zinc can improve skin function and speed up wound healing. 5 Zinc is important for maintaining the integrity, function and structural integrity of skin. [ 6]
  • Zinc is essential for the brain’s development and proper functioning. Zinc improves neuron communication, which affects the way memories are formed and how learning is enhanced. [ 7]
