In addition to its proven ability to reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms, zinc supports healthy reproduction and energy metabolism, normal prostate function, and the healing of wounds. GNLD NeoLife provides high-purity and high-potency zinc, plus natural amino acid chelation for improved absorption.
Zinc is a mineral that the body needs to help the immune system, in wound healing, and in the breakdown of carbohydrates. Second only to iron in its concentration in the body, zinc is found in protein-rich foods such as meat, peanuts and peanut butter, and legumes.
The body needs zinc to make DNA, RNA, insulin, dozens of critical enzymatic reactions, and to facilitate immune response and cellular repair and renewal. Chelated Zinc is vitally important for healthy skin, connective tissue and normal prostate function. ***
Significantly higher zinc absorption from GNLD's double amino chelates.
Highest purity and potency from pharmaceutical grade, natural raw material.
Unique chelation process reduces the chance of stomach irritation.
Deficiency may result in retarded growth, delayed sexual maturity and slow wound healing. Additional symptoms include poor appetite, under-function sex glands, decreased mental alertness and increased susceptibility to infection.
Zinc deficiencies are quite common in hospitals amoung patients who are fed intravenously. Many hospitals have begun to add zinc as well as other minerals to the intravenous solution.
If you're not getting enough zinc, here's a list of possible warning signs, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine:
Zinc performs many essential functions within our bodies. It is involved in the absorption and activity of vitamins, especially the B-complex. It is a component of insulin. Zinc helps you handle sugar and avoid diabetes. It is a part of 25 enzymes related to digestion, including an enzyme required to break down alcohol.
Zinc is involved in the production of nucleic acids DNA and RNA, which contain the genetic code for life itself. It is essential for the normal growth and development of the reproductive organs and for normal functioning of the prostate gland in men.
Research indicates that zinc is also an important factor in the healing of wounds and burns. Zinc helps wounds heal, helps acne sufferers, is involved in sexual development and helps you handle alcohol.
Dramatic evidence of the healing powers of zinc has been reported by medical research teams.
In one study, ulcer patients who did not test deficient in zinc were given zinc supplements; a second group was given placebos. The ulcers in the zinc treatment group healed at 3 times the rate of the placebo group and complete healing of ulcers occurred more often among patients taking zinc.
Recent interest in zinc involves its effect on cold symptoms. One study found that cold sufferers taking zinc supplements lost their symptoms in an average of three to four days while a placebo control group had symptoms for 10.8 days. It is speculated that zinc may interfere with virus reproduction processes.
Zinc is being studied as a treatment for epilepsy. It is thought that zinc may be involved in the production of a chemical that prevents seizures.
Zinc is also being researched in relation to Alzheimer's disease, for its role in immune function, reproduction, birth defects, infertility and nausea of pregnancy. It has been found to be a potent antagonist to cadmium, a common cause of heavy metal toxicity.
Naturally occurring zinc comes in a number of varieties and potencies. GNLD's Chelated Zinc is a natural, pharmaceutical-grade product, both high in purity and in potency.
In GNLD's unique chelation process, pharmaceutical grade zinc is chelated with natural amino acid methionine. In this process 2 amino acid molecules bond with each zinc molecule to form our unique 2 to 1 zinc amino acid chelate. Tests show that amino acid chelation dramatically improves zinc absorption.
