Why Zinc Is Important For Men And Women
Zinc is the spiritual warrior because it is always fighting for the greater good.
Zinc is needed for growth and repair.
It is a key mineral for digestion because it helps make stomach acid and digestive juices, and also regulates glucose, hormones, your immune system, neurotransmitters, mood, and sleep.
Zinc is one of the most phenomenal minerals that we have.
It is second to magnesium in enzymatic functions in the body.
Every fluid in your body is lined with zinc.
Zinc is the secreter that is in your cerebral spinal fluid, your tear fluids, sinus secretions, saliva, tonsillar fluid, lung fluid, sweat, breast milk, stomach acid, digestive enzymes, intestinal fluid, urine, menstrual fluid, and synovial fluid.
Zinc is incredible because it protects us—it is the great protector.
Zinc is blocked by cadmium, mercury, aluminum, and copper.
We have to deal with these other elements because they impede and block zinc from getting into the cells.
This is why when you assess the status of zinc, we also have to be able to assess the status of the toxic elements to give us a better overall picture to the status of zinc.
We do not have any zinc stores.
We lose 85% of zinc daily through digestion so we must be able to replenish the zinc stores in order to have an immune system, a digestive system, to make neurotransmitters and hormones, and everything else mentioned above.
