Description

Zinc is an essential mineral which is involved in multiple metabolic pathways in the body. Most people get their daily intake by consuming zinc-rich foods (e.g. seafood, poultry, red meat) in their diet. Individual zinc requirements change with age and gender. Inadequate dietary intake and certain health conditions may lead to zinc deficiencies, and require supplementation.

Zinc supplementation may assist with the following:

  • Zinc deficiency identified through blood testing
  • Support immune system function and body repair
  • Support reproductive health
  • Reduce skin inflammation and relieve symptoms of mild acne
  • lowering of pyrroles, copper and other heavy metals
  • Support the production of neurotransmitters (chemical signalling in the brain)

Each capsule contains: Zinc (as Picolinate) 50mg

  • Promotes Skin Health: Zinc is known for its skin-healing properties and is commonly used to manage acne, eczema, and other skin conditions. It helps with the production of collagen and assists in tissue repair, which promotes faster healing of wounds and cuts.
  • Enhances Wound Healing: Zinc helps accelerate the healing process of cuts, bruises, and injuries by supporting the regeneration of cells and tissues. It is often recommended for individuals recovering from surgery or trauma.
  • Supports Cognitive Function: Zinc plays a role in neurotransmitter function and is involved in brain health, supporting memory, focus, and cognitive clarity.
  • Helps Maintain Hormonal Balance: Zinc is important for the regulation of hormones, including those involved in reproductive health. It supports healthy testosterone levels in men and plays a role in fertility and overall reproductive function.

What is Zinc used for?

Zinc is essential for many processes in the body, including immune system function, skin health, wound healing, cognitive function, and hormone regulation. It’s particularly important for maintaining a healthy immune response and promoting healthy skin.

Why should I take Zinc 50mg instead of a lower dosage?

Zinc 50mg is typically recommended for individuals who need a higher dose to correct a deficiency or address specific health concerns, such as immune support, skin conditions, or hormonal balance. If you’re unsure of your dosage, it’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider.

Can I take Zinc if I have a cold or flu?

Zinc is known for its ability to support immune function, and it may help reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms when taken at the first sign of illness. However, you should always follow your doctor’s advice on dosage during illness.
