Natural Support for Maintaining Optimal Zinc LevelsZinc Supreme is a unique formula of chelated zinc enriched with vitamins B2 and B6, molybdenum, taurine, and malic acid to promote optimal zinc supplementation. These nutrients work synergistically with zinc to facilitate enzymatic reactions and vital body functions. Zinc and the amino acid taurine work together to ensure healthy vision and optimal central nervous system function. Molybdenum decreases zinc excretion, and vitamin B6 has been shown to help maintain zinc levels in the body. Each capsule serving of Zinc Supreme provides 30 mg of zinc along with clinically relevant amounts of these other important nutrients. Maintaining adequate zinc levels is essential for the proper functioning of every cell in the body. The beneficial effects of zinc are vast, as this mineral is the most abundant intracellular trace element in the body, and at least 200 zinc-dependent enzymes have been identified. Zinc is essential for the body's growth and physical development, as well as for the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Most aspects of reproduction in both men and women require zinc. This mineral is also vitally important for the immune system. Furthermore, virtually every enzymatic reaction that occurs in the brain involves zinc, as does the development and proper functioning of the central nervous system. The highest concentrations of zinc are found in the brain, ears, and eyes. Some individuals have difficulty absorbing this mineral, but most cases of zinc deficiency are associated with poor diet, chronic stress, vegetarianism, or excessive alcohol consumption. Some deficiencies also result from exposure to toxic metals such as cadmium found in cigarettes or excess copper from ingesting tap water from copper plumbing. Severe deficiency is associated with skin problems, diarrhea, hair loss, mental disorders, and recurrent infections due to impaired immune function. Secondary zinc deficiency can contribute to poor wound healing, type 2 diabetes, enlarged prostate, cataracts, ulcers, food allergies, toxic metal accumulation in the body, osteoporosis, decreased sense of taste or smell, decreased hearing, blood sugar imbalances, and skin problems such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
