Details
Zinc is essential for life. It heals wounds, fights infections and is among the most important of the trace elements in human nutrition. Zinc is vital for the immune system and the expression of genes. By boosting the immune system, zinc can protect against fungal infections and various infectious disorders, such as conjunctivitis and pneumonia. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Zinc is essential to numerous chemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis and cellular energy. Its immune system values begin with zinc’s ability to regulate the production of T cells. Zinc also helps provide critical protection to the liver, assists in deterring enlargement of the prostate gland, and is essential in maintaining reproductive organ health. Zinc is required for tissue repair and stabilizing cell membranes for accelerated healing of the damaged heart after a heart attack. Zinc is a component in over 300 enzymatic reactions, along with the TP53 gene that triggers apoptosis (programmed death) of cancer cells.
Zinc’s healing abilities include skin wounds, eczema, rosacea, burns, and other irritations. Zinc repairs the skin’s top layer in part by helping to process the essential fatty acids that encourage healing. Adding zinc supplements to your diet may therefore lead to more efficient recovery from burns, psoriasis, rosacea, hemorrhoids, and eczema, especially if the affected area is not healing well. The body also requires extra nutrients such as zinc to help repair burned skin and reinforce the immune response.
Not only is zinc essential in regulating the activities of 300 enzymes, but 1400 zinc-finger proteins are involved in gene expression of various proteins. Low zinc levels have been associated with the development of esophageal and head/neck cancer. Supporting that claim are coinvestigator Dr. Ananda Prasad’s studies, which have shown that as much as 45 to 65% of patients with head and neck cancer may have zinc deficiencies. The thymus gland is crucial in maintaining a healthy immune system. Zinc supplementation can support thymic function as we age.
The degradation and replacement of all genetic material is the responsibility of the zinc-dependent gene DNA polymerase. What can interfere with this process are the hundreds of chemicals in our environment that bombard us daily. DNA polymerase
can also be helpful in treating chronic fatigue. Zinc also plays a crucial role for diabetes, slows down aging, enhances vision and liver functions, and is effective in detoxifying alcohol.
