ZINC INFUSIONS
While health and vitality can be maintained by eating a diet rich in antioxidants (scavengers of free radicals), in the case of advanced diseases it is necessary to support the body with intravenous administration of supplementation of such antioxidants such as vitamin C, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, glutathione or coenzyme Q10.
ZINC IS CLASSIFIED AS A TRACE ELEMENT
Zinc is classified as trace elements, which may not be very much in the body, but are involved in many key processes for the proper functioning of the body: the immune system (e.g. stimulates the thymus, prevents autoimmune processes, such as Hashimoto’s disease), hormonal one (participates in the formation of insulin and thyroid hormone metabolism), reproductive one (positively affects fertility).
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR OLDER PEOPLE BECAUSE:
- improves intellectual performance, prevents dementia,
- protects the eye macula from degeneration (AMD),
- reduces ringing in the ears,
- prevents prostate diseases,
- improves bone mineralization (prevention of osteoporosis).
It is an important element for athletes: it participates in muscle contractility and tissue regeneration, as it is necessary in the synthesis of protein and nucleic acids (DNA).
ZINC DEFICIENCIES SHOULD BE CORRECTED IN CASE OF SKIN PROBLEMS, BECAUSE ZINC:
- accelerates wound healing, soothes skin irritations,
- is effective in the treatment of rosacea and juvenile acne, burns,
- strengthens hair and nails.
Vegetarians, people who consume a lot of sweets or alcohol and athletes are at risk of zinc deficiency.
