Zinc is a very important mineral. It's involved in many essential physiological functions. One of these functions is supporting the formation of collagen and tissues. Collagen is a structural protein that works with connective tissue‚ cartilage‚ and bone matters; it promotes elasticity in the skin and strength in the blood vessels. Meanwhile‚ healthy tissues are better able to breathe and circulate oxygen throughout the body with the help of zinc.
Furthermore‚ zinc plays a vital role in strengthening your immune system. It does so by supporting the effective functioning of T-lymphocytes‚ natural killer cells‚ and neutrophils. Increased immunity lessens your chances of coming down with sickness.
Perhaps most important is zinc's potential to support your body's ability to digest and metabolize nutrients. For example‚ it helps process and store the carbohydrates that you eat. It also helps your digestive tract absorb B complex vitamins‚ which have many health benefits.
Good dietary sources of zinc include red meat‚ seafood‚ and fortified cereals and whole grains. Unfortunately‚ certain foods can interfere with its absorption. Signs of a zinc deficiency can include diarrhea‚ hair loss‚ or wounds that take a longer period of time to heal.
Zinc (Citrate) by Pure Encapsulations provides zinc citrate (which binds zinc to a low-molecular-weight acid)‚ one of the most easily absorbed forms of the mineral. One capsule contains 30 milligrams of zinc‚ along with fat-soluble vitamin C to further boost its effectiveness.
Take one or two vegetable capsules daily‚ in divided doses with meals. At the recommended dosage‚ each 60-capsule bottle of Pure Encapsulations' Zinc (Citrate) should last from one to two months.
