The Zip of Zinc Supplement

Zinc Supplement helps produce the cells you need to keep you healthy. Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in almost every cell. It stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body.

Healing, growth, pregnancy, and lactation all have an increased need for Zinc because of the need for more cell production.

Zinc works best when taken together with Calcium and Magnesium Supplements. These supplements work synergistically together so it's best to take them in an 'all in one' supplement form. These three minerals are an essential part of physiological function.

Beef, lamb, oysters, eggs, whole grains, yogurt and nuts are all sources of zinc.

A deficiency in zinc most often happens when zinc intake is inadequate or is poorly absorbed, when there are increased losses of zinc from the body, or when the body’s requirement for zinc increases.

Increased Calcium, Alcohol, Penicillin, Diuretics, and Vegetarian diets are all sources of Zinc depletion.

Deficiency signs may include growth retardation, hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation and impotence, impaired immunity, bloating, eye and skin lesions, depression, and loss of appetite. There is also evidence that weight loss, delayed healing of wounds, *rash, taste abnormalities, and mental lethargy can occur.

Since many of these symptoms are general and mock other medical conditions, do not assume they are due to a zinc deficiency.

*Persistence of a Mysterious Rash

I had a recurrence of the Epstein Barr Virus a few years ago and noticed a rash that popped up on the top of my feet. It seemed to appear out of nowhere.

When I started treating the Epstein Barr Virus with supplements, I also started taking all of my other vitamins again.

As soon as I started taking Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc, the rash went away. My body was telling me that I needed Zinc.

If you have a rash that you can’t explain, try taking Zinc Supplement for it. It may be a sign that you have a deficiency.

Daily requirements are around 11 - 12 mg. for adults. If you buy the supplement with Calcium and Magnesium, the daily requirement amounts have been included.
