Health Benefits of Zinc. Zinc include proper functioning of the immune and digestive systems, control of diabetes, reduction of stress levels, energy metabolism, and an increased rate of healing for acne and wounds. The tenth most common element in the human body, zinc is vital for the functioning of more than 300 hormones and countless enzyme systems in the body. Adequate zinc levels are absolutely important for fertility in both men and women. In males, the prostate is the organ with the richest zinc supply while in females it is the uterus. Zinc is an important component of one of the most powerful antioxidants produced. This antioxidant helps to neutralize free radicals that can wreak havoc with our body’s systems and thus maintaining healthy levels of zinc is especially important to increasing our longevity.
Zinc is needed for metabolism of nucleic acids and the synthesis of proteins. It is an integral part of the human DNA for cell division and synthesis. Zinc is found in all the body fluids, including the moisture in the eyes, lungs, nose, urine, and saliva. Zinc is in mucous linings in the body such as the lungs and nose. it is necessary for hormone production and it is essential for the prostate gland. One of the most important things is that it is a vital part of the immune system.
Zinc Functions in the Body:
Zinc has been used for centuries. In the 1800's surgeons used zinc as an antiseptic / antibiotic after surgery and were noted for its amazing healing properties. Wounds would heal, at times as quickly as 24 hours after an operation, without swelling, and scarring was barely noticeable after a short period of time.
"Drs / Pories and Strain use zinc salts preoperatively and postoperatively to promote wound healing and to correct zinc deficiency."*1
Zinc is needed for the metabolism of nucleic acids and the synthesis of proteins. It is an integral part of the human DNA for cell devision and synthesis. Zinc is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and is found in all the body fluids, including the moisture in the eyes, lungs, nose, urine, and saliva. Proper zinc levels offer a defense against the entrance of pathogens.
"Dr. Phillips of San Antonio, Texas, has noted that zinc transferring is normally bound to lymphocytes and that this zinc transport system may be a vital beginning in immune reactions. Dr. Robert S. Pecarek of the Trace Metal Laboratory, following the lead that the thymus is always small in zinc-deficient animals, has found that T-cell immunity is impaired."*2
Because zinc is found in the body fluids, proper levels of zinc tend to stop body odor, including foot odor, and protect the throat with every swallow. Deficiency of zinc can lead to a wide variety of degenerative diseases and illnesses. Heavy losses of zinc occur in sweating, therefore athletes are particularly susceptible ot zinc deficiency. Zinc is very effective for proper brain function as well.
Zinc is effective in hormone production, improves sex drive and has been proven to reduce the size of prostrate gland, helps prevent prostate cancer and is important for the proper maintenance of the male reproductive system.
"Zinc is involved in the production and function of several sex hormones. Severe zinc deficiency has been shown to cause male sterility."*3
