Zinc and its role in human body

Zinc is an essential mineral found in the body, especially thyroid and reproductive organs. It helps maintain immune system and metabolism function. It also helps to maintain healthy skin and wound healing. Traditionally zinc is well known for its immune boosting benefits, and has been recommended for fight against cold and flu symptoms.

Zinc also plays several biological roles in the human body from synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein to normal function of certain body organs like pancreas and reproductive organs.

Nutridom Zinc bisglycinate - superior bio availability with minimal side effects.

Like most of other essential minerals, common zinc supplements are often indigestible and caused gastrointestinal discomfort like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and sometimes headache associated with indigestion.

Nutridom Zinc Bisglycinate contains amino-chelated zinc which is optimal form of zinc for daily consumption. It has superior bioavailability and is gently absorbed in digestive tract.

Q: When Should I Use This Product?

A: Due to the lower bioavailability of plant based zinc, deficiency can be a particular issue for vegetarians and vegans. To prevent zinc deficiency, women need at least 8 mg of zinc daily (that need increases to 11 mg during pregnancy and 12 mg when breastfeeding), while men require at least 11 mg of zinc each day. That's a minimum requirement. For optimal health and targeted support (think immunity), zinc needs are thought to be even higher (15 to 30 mg). Zinc can also hinder your body’s ability to absorb copper, potentially leading to a deficiency in this key mineral over time. Furthermore, zinc supplements have been shown to interfere with the absorption of certain antibiotics, reducing their effectiveness if taken at the same time. To reduce your risk of side effects, stick to the recommended dosage and avoid exceeding the tolerable upper limit of 40 mg per day.

Q: Who Can Benefit?

A: Zinc supplements are generally well tolerated, though they’ve been associated with adverse side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain in some people. Exceeding 40 mg per day of elemental zinc can cause flu-like symptoms like fever, coughing, headache, and fatigue. Additionally, vegetarians and vegans may benefit the most since, as previously mentioned, bioavailability of plant based zinc is typically low.
