Zinc is an essential trace mineral, with a spectrum of metabolic roles so broad that it is often considered to be one of the most versatile of all nutrients. It is present in range of foods that commonly occur in the diet, but mild to moderate insufficiency of this vital mineral is widespread. Signs of a sub-optimal zinc status include impaired immunity, cognitive dysfunction, a lack of energy and problems with the hair, skin and nails.
Zinc is known to contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system, and is a common feature of supplement regimes that are designed to support seasonal defences. If you feel that, despite your best efforts, you are still prone to catching colds and other infections, zinc could be the supplement you need.
Mental Performance
Zinc has a fundamental role in the maintenance of normal cognitive function, and signs of zinc deficiency can include mental lethargy and an inability to concentrate. Supplements are an effective method of ensuring an adequate intake, and can help bring levels in the body back to within the normal range.
Muscle Function and Energy Production
Zinc is needed for the normal synthesis of protein, and so is an important nutrient for the maintenance and repair of muscle tissue. It is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, which usually form the major source of energy in a balanced diet. These factors account for why a zinc supplement is a suitable choice for athletes and exercise enthusiasts.
Fertility and Reproduction
The production of the male sex hormone, testosterone, is dependent on an adequate intake of zinc, and this helps explain why zinc is understood to contribute to normal male fertility. This makes it an important nutrient for men who are focused on maintaining healthy reproductive function.
Healthy Hair, Skin and Nails
Zinc supports the maintenance of the health of the hair, skin and nails, and falling hair, brittle nails and problems with the skin are often associated with a deficiency of zinc. Both women and men who are concerned about the condition of the hair, skin and nails may benefit from a zinc supplement.
All of the above health claims have been authorised by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
Vegetarian-Friendly and Highly Absorbable Zinc Supplement
The bioavailability of the zinc found in the diets of vegetarians is generally lower than that found in animal foods. Super Zinc Plus provides a viable solution to meeting the zinc requirements of those who avoid meat.
There are a variety of different zinc supplements on the market, but during the development of Super Zinc Plus 25mg, the nutritionists at Simply Supplements opted to use zinc citrate, which is widely regarded as being the most absorbable form of the mineral.
