ESSENTIAL TRACE MINERAL IN CHELATED FORM : Zinc is an essential trace mineral which performs diverse physiological functions in our body such as growth and development, maintenance of the immune system, and tissue repair. It acts as a structural and regulatory catalyst for the biological activity of many enzymes, proteins, acts as an antioxidant, and an anti-inflammatory agent. Zenith Nutrition Zinc Glycinate is a combined molecule of the mineral zinc and amino acid glycine.
BOOSTS IMMUNE FUNCTION: Zinc plays an essential role in both cell-mediated and humoral immunity. Its role in cellular mediators includes monocyte, macrophage, neutrophil development and regulating functions such as phagocytosis and proinflammatory cytokine production. Zinc acts as an antioxidant and protects cells from the damaging effects of free radicals on immune cells.The importance of zinc on T lymphocytes is the most, it up regulates the T-cell response, thereby boosts immune response.
HELPS MAINTAIN NORMAL BRAIN FUNCTION: Zinc is an essential mineral whose importance to the function of the nervous system is highly appreciated. Zinc plays a pivotal role in a multitude of cellular processes including neurotransmission, enzymatic activity, cell signaling, gene regulation, hormones that direct cell proliferation. Current studies have revealed that zinc deficiency can lead to increased risk for the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
PROMOTES SKIN HEALTH: Skin which is the first line of defense for protecting the body against external factors like uv irradiation and infections is in a continual state of renewal placing a high demand for nutritional factors required for the maintenance of skin health. Studies have hypothesized the physiology of zinc in collagen and keratin production, wound healing, acne and inflammation reduction.
EXCELLENT ANTIOXIDANT: Oxidative stress is known as an important contributing factor to many chronic diseases. Antioxidants help to get rid of free radicals that cause damage to cells in the body by bonding with them and neutralizing them and stabilizing the cell membrane structure. Zinc targets free radicals that cause inflammation throughout the body. Zinc leads to down regulation of inflammatory cytokines. It is particularly good at countering the damaging effects of high iron.
