Your immune system functions to fight disease-causing germs like bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi, and to remove them from the body, as well as substances from the environment, and to fight disease-causing changes in the body.
As long as it’s running optimally, you don’t even notice it’s there. When it’s not working properly, because it’s weakened or can’t fight particularly aggressive invaders, you get sick. Some of these germs, or invaders, will make you ill if your body has never encountered them before. Others will only make you sick one time - like chickenpox.
Zinc is an important essential mineral but we find that more than 50% of our patients are deficient. It is involved in over 100 enzyme reactions in the body and is required for energy production, proper immune function, DNA synthesis, wound healing, proper sense of smell and so much more.
The best dietary sources of zinc are oysters followed by beef and poultry. There is some zinc in grains and legumes as well as nuts, but lectins found in these foods do interfere with absorption.
It’s important when choosing a zinc supplement you get one that is fully reacted chelated zinc, which our supplement is. This makes the mineral more easily absorbed by your body than zinc on its own.
