Today, I would like to talk to you about zinc, which is one of the most important minerals in our lives, although its deficiency is often overlooked. Zinc participates in the structure of more than 300 enzymes in our body. Among the enzymes it is involved in are insulin, growth hormone and reproductive hormones. In addition, since it is the building block of epithelial tissue, it also plays a role in skin, hair, nail and skin problems. It is also one of the basic building blocks of the immune system. Zinc is important for lymphocytes to function and to prevent viruses and bacteria from entering the oral and nasal cavities. Zinc also helps to repair the intestinal wall. For this reason, zinc is also important in the problem of leaky gut.
However, we can only get 2/3 of the zinc we need to take with nutrition. There is 1 day deficiency in every 3 days. For this reason, everyone can use zinc supplements for 3-4 months a year. When using zinc, it is necessary to pay attention to the organic form, enteric capsule and use 2 hours after the meal. In zinc deficiency, hair loss, forgetfulness, nail problems, focusing disorder, frequent illness, intestinal problems, mood swings can be seen.
