Zinc is a foundational mineral and one of the most common deficiencies in the world. Zinc is essential to human and animal growth patterns and has a vital role in the development of hormones and immune molecules. Zinc is one of the best mineral supplements to boost and balance out a tired and overstimulated immune system.
Experts predict that almost 2 billion people—which is roughly 25% of the world’s population—is deficient in zinc (1). This is thought to be from inadequate consumption through the individual’s diet. From a functional health perspective, there is a lot more zinc deficiency in our society due to poor biochemical pathways.
When we have poor blood sugar signaling due to a diet that is high in sugar and carbohydrates we are unable to adequately absorb zinc. Individuals with gut issues are often deficient in zinc from poor absorption.
Consuming high amounts of phytic acids in grains and legumes can adversely affect zinc levels. The regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) depletes zinc levels in the body as well.
Zinc is Critical For Immune Health:
Zinc is critical for balancing the immune system and keeping the Th-1 and Th-2 systems in check. Zinc potentiates the action of the human cytokine interferon alpha, a protein that inhibits viral replication. This reduces immunological stress and improves the immune coordination (2).
Zinc is also a very specific component of specific enzymes in the body including superoxide dismutatse enzymes (SODs). SOD is a powerful intracellular anti-oxidant that protects cellular genomics and prevents viral infection and toxic debris accumulation within the cellular matrix.
Zinc Aids in Reducing Inflammatory Conditions in the Body:
When the immune system recognizes a pathogen it sets off a series of molecules to create a process that activates the innate immune response. This process involves the Nuclear factor–kappa Beta (NF-kB) pathway. Healthy immunity depends upon sensitive NF-kB activity but must reduce the overstimulation of NF-kB or we risk chronic inflammation (3).
Zinc plays an important role at it binds to a protein within the NF-kB pathway that halts its activity (4). This is a programmed shutdown of the NF-kB pathway that reduces the effects of too much inflammatory activity within the cells. Without adequate zinc, the NF-kB pathway gets overstimulated and can create chronic inflammatory conditions (5).
Introducing Zinc Charge:
Zinc Charge™ is a fully reacted, proprietary TRAACS® amino acid chelate formulated for enhanced absorption. As an essential mineral, zinc serves catalytic, structural, and regulatory functions in the body. Zinc ultimately supports immune and neurological function, wound healing, growth, taste acuity, nutrient metabolism, and reproductive health.*
The recommended daily allowance for zinc is between eight to eleven milligrams for most adults. However, for functional health most progressive nutritionists and doctors recommend between 30-40 mg/daily.
Zinc can be a problem when one supplements with more than 100 mg/daily, especially when it is done without additional copper. Zinc Glycinate—an Albion® TRAACS amino acid chelate—is a high-potency source of zinc formulated for enhanced absorption. In this form, zinc is coupled with two glycine molecules to facilitate its absorption across the intestinal wall and reduce interference from phytates and competing minerals (10).
Zinc Charge supports the immune system and proper enzymatic function by providing high-potency zinc in 20mg doses.
