About Zinc Drink

Zinc Drink is a dietary supplement that comes in a convenient liquid form so that individuals can mix it with juice or water. The formula provides zinc sulfate, which is a vital trace mineral. Zinc is necessary for the activity of a plethora of energy metabolism-related enzymes. Overall, zinc plays a critical role in allowing the immune system to maintain a healthy function. Finally, zinc is also fundamental to the growth and development of the body, skin health, and the senses of smell and taste (zinc deficiency can lead to reduced smell or taste).

How Zinc Drink Works

Zinc Drink has been specifically designed to support the activity of at least 100 enzymes that are related to a wide range of biochemical reactions, including the transport of carbon dioxide, the biosynthesis of heme, and synthesis of proteins, and the metabolism of energy. The formula also encourages the healthy function of the male reproductive organs, the pancreas, and the skin while also fostering the production and function of DNA and RNA. Besides, Zinc Drink promotes tissue synthesis and healthy immune activity.

The Health Benefits of Zinc

Zinc is present in every single cell and is one of the most abundant trace minerals in the body (second, after iron). Zinc is a mineral that cannot be produced naturally inside the human body. It can also Not be stored. For that reason, it should be obtained through supplementation or food constantly.

Zinc has numerous health-promoting attributes such as:

• Boosts the immune system – Zinc is vital for the proper function of the immune cells. It is also needed for cell signaling and healthy immune responses. Supplementing with zinc can help reduce oxidative stress. Studies, for example, have shown that zinc can help reduce the duration of a common cold by more than 1/3. Plus, it helps improve the immune response in older adults while also reducing the risk of infections.
• Enhances wound healing – Zinc is widely used to treat skin injuries, including certain ulcers and burns. It also plays a crucial role in the inflammatory response and collagen synthesis, which are needed for proper (and speedy) recovery in individuals with wounds.
• Helps fight age-related diseases – The risk of pneumonia, as well as macular degeneration and infection, can be reduced with zinc consumption by nearly 70%. This is because zinc relieves oxidative stress and improves T-cell activity (the body’s “killer” cells that protect from infection). Older individuals that supplement with zinc are also found to have boosted mental performance. Combined with other antioxidant supplementation (Beta-Carotene, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E), zinc can help reduce the risk of vision loss in people with advanced age-related macular degeneration.
• Helps treat acne – Acne affects around 10% of the world population and is driven by inflammation, bacteria, and the obstruction of oil-producing glands. It has been evidenced that zinc can suppress the activity of oily glands, inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria, and reduce inflammation.
• Decrease inflammation – The levels of certain inflammatory proteins are found to be lower in the bodies of people that consume zinc. This is attributed to the effect zinc has on reducing oxidative stress, which results in chronic inflammation and a plethora of chronic illnesses, including cancer and heart disease.

Signs of Zinc Deficiency

Severe zinc deficiency comes with a range of symptoms, such as behavioral issues, impaired wound healing, chronic diarrhea, delayed sexual maturity, skin rashes, and impaired growth and development. It should be noted, though, that severe zinc deficiency is quite rare, and is more likely to affect individuals taking certain immune-suppressing medications, as well as people with rare genetic mutations and/or alcohol addictions. Nevertheless, more than two billion people experience milder forms of zinc deficiency due to unhealthy diets. Among others, those more at risk of zinc deficiency are individuals with:

• gastrointestinal diseases
• sickle cell anemia
• chronic kidney disease
• anorexia or bulimia

Some of the most common symptoms of zinc deficiency are fertility problems, dry skin, mood disturbances, decreased appetite, thinning hair, lowered immunity, and diarrhea. What is somewhat frustrating is that it is challenging to determine whether you are zinc deficient because the body has tight control of the specific mineral, making a lab test inconclusive. The best way for a doctor to identify zinc deficiency is to evaluate factors such as genetics, dietary intake, and blood results.

Zinc Drink Ingredients
