(as Citrate-zinc citrate)
Whole grain milling, a widely used processing method in the UK, results in a reduction of over 90% of zinc levels contained in these foods. This, in combination with the new dietary trend of reduced animal protein consumption, is likely one of the reasons why 1 in 3 adults in the UK receives less zinc than recommended.
Zinc is an integral part of insulin, the hormone used to treat diabetes, and is essential for all protein synthesis occurring in the body. In cases of increased physical or mental demands on the body, as well as increased consumption of dietary fiber, there may be a greater need for zinc or greater loss of zinc from the body, taking into account that fiber-rich foods hinder zinc absorption by the body.
One fifth of the zinc stored in the body is found in the skin. Also, zinc aids in tissue regeneration and participates in some of the enzymatic reactions necessary for the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands of the skin.
It directly affects many organic systems such as the nervous, immune and reproductive systems. It also maintains the proper functioning of the senses of taste and smell.
