Zinc is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce on its own and must therefore be obtained through the diet. The importance of zinc is evident in the fact that it is a component of almost 300 enzymes that regulate vital metabolic processes in the body and can therefore also contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system.
... contain zinc bisglycinate of the highest quality: Zinc bisglycinate is a compound of zinc and glycine. Among all amino acids, glycine has the smallest molecular size, which allows it to carry zinc efficiently through the intestinal lining into the bloodstream.
Athletes, diabetics, pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as individuals in stressful life phases or those with gastrointestinal diseases are particularly prone to developing a zinc deficiency. Due to the various symptoms such as
- fatigue
- listlessness and
- difficulty concentrating,
which can also indicate many other conditions, a zinc deficiency is not always easy to identify and is often overlooked.
*The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has scientifically examined and confirmed the functions of zinc in the human body: [2]
- Zinc contributes to normal functioning of the immune system
It is also immensely important for the immune system that the metabolic processes in the body run smoothly, as this is the only way it can function properly and protect the body from pathogens. [3] [4]
- Zinc contributes to normal acid-base metabolism
- Zinc contributes to normal carbohydrate metabolism
- Zinc contributes to normal metabolism of macronutrients
- Zinc contributes to normal fatty acid metabolism
- Zinc contributes to normal vitamin A metabolism
- Zinc contributes to normal DNA synthesis
- Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis
- Reproduction and hormones (H3)
- Zinc contributes to normal fertility and normal reproduction
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal bones
This trace element supports the formation of collagen fibers, on which calcium crystals are deposited, among other things, which in turn can help strengthen and stabilize bone structure.
- Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function
Cognitive functions include perception, recognition, imagination, thinking, memory, attention, learning, decision-making, action planning and communication or language. Studies show that zinc supplementation can improve cognitive performance, the ability to concentrate, as well as logical thinking. [5]
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, nails and skin
- Zinc plays a role in cell division
- Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
Oxidative stress, caused by free radicals, can accelerate the appearance of signs of aging. Although the body is equipped with complex protective mechanisms, oxidative stress occurs when the balance between free radicals and these defenses is disrupted due to factors like overload, environmental toxins, cigarette smoke, and alcohol [6]. When the damaging effects of free radicals outweigh the protective mechanisms, oxidative stress results.

If in doubt, seek medical advice.
