Clinical Benefits:
- Supports healthy immune function. Zinc deficiency can affect the healthy functioning of cells necessary for normal immune function, particularly the T lymphocytes which require zinc for numerous processes. This can lead to reduced antibody production and compromised cellular function of the innate immune system, including alteration of natural killer cell activity, phagocytosis and the generation of oxidative burst. These alterations are considered to be important contributors to increased susceptibility to infections.
- Adequate zinc status is essential for optimising male reproductive health. Zinc is required to support testosterone production and spermatogenesis. Oxidative stress may cause structural damage to sperm DNA, reduced sperm motility and defective sperm membrane integrity. The antioxidant action of zinc, due to its membrane stabilising activity, may inhibit lipid peroxidation of sperm and prevent against free radical damage.
- Wound healing and skin integrity: Zinc and manganese both play crucial roles in wound healing and connective tissue repair due to collagen synthesis. Key mechanisms of zinc in acne management include anti-inflammatory effect on granulocytes, regulation of androgen metabolism and retinol-binding protein synthesis.
- Zinc bisglycinate has been shown to have superior absorption compared to other forms of zinc: Zinc bisglycinate is absorbed intact and not ionised like other forms of zinc, resulting in less side effects such as nausea, commonly experienced with zinc supplementation.
