Why We Love Zinc - A Natural Zinc Supplement
Zinc, an essential mineral vital to many aspects of human health, is the second most common incidence of deficiency worldwide, after iron. This mineral plays a major role in maintaining cellular metabolism and gene expression. It’s also critical to immune function, insulin signaling, tissue repair, vision, and neurotransmission. A deficiency, small or big, can have serious health impacts since so many functions in the body are regulated by zinc. Zinc, sold at Magnolia Wellness, provides 54 mg of highly absorbed zinc. Finding a high quality supplement with the right form of zinc is extremely important, which is why we sell this formula - made using zinc glycinate for enhanced absorption and optimal utilization.
Some of the most notable benefits of taking Zinc:
Boosts overall immune function: Slows down the activity of macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, and complement activity.
Maintains healthy tissue growth: Maintains the integrity of skin and mucosal membranes which can accelerate wound healing and treat acne.
Increases antioxidant reserves that protect the body from free radical damage: This also supports eye health in those with age-related loss of visual acuity and general visual decline, by preventing free radical cellular damage in the retina.
Supports pregnancy, infancy and childhood: The body needs zinc for proper growth and development.
Decreases inflammation: Decreases oxidative stress and certain inflammatory proteins in the body, which can lead to chronic inflammation.
