 Zinc is essential for normal functioning of all the body’s systems.

The soil becomes less in zinc, and food contains many carbohydrates and little microelements, which deteriorates the situation.  Excess of calcium in the body decreases zinc absorption by 50%. Zinc is easily excreted from the body with stress (physical and emotional) and under the action of toxic metals and pesticides. With age the absorption of this mineral substantially decreases, that’s why its supplementation is required.

Zinc additives help with the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. People suffering from this disease were lacking of zinc-dependent hormone of the thymus gland – thymulin, which implies that zinc deficiency can play a certain part in origination of a pathologic process.

Zinc is vitally important for thymus functioning and normal conditions of the immune system. Being a component of retinol-transferring protein, zinc together with vitamin A and vitamin C prevents immune deficiency from the beginning, stimulating antibodies synthesis and producing antiviral action. Malignant tumors are more actively developed at low levels of zinc.

The most important symptom of zinc deficiency is general nervousness and weakness. Symptoms of almost all skin diseases weaken and disappear at increased levels of zinc content in the body. It is especially effective for treating acne, which some researches consider to be a disease caused by a deficiency of zinc and one of the essential fatty acids.

The effect of biologically active food additives containing zinc is not manifested immediately; but weeks and months may pass before the results are visible on the skin.

Zinc plays an important part in the hormonal balance of the body. The male body needs more zinc than a female does. Development of prostate adenoma is inseparably linked with insufficient zinc intake throughout  life. Deficiency of zinc may lessen sperm formation and testosterone secretion. The level of testosterone in the blood serum of people over 60, who take zinc, increases 2 times.

Zinc deficiency may lead to many complications of pregnancy, including miscarriage, toxicosis, fetus growth retardation and a difficult delivery. The content of zinc in the body is usually low in women, suffering from premenstrual syndrome. It could be that its deficiency leads to the lowering of progesterone secretion, which in turn may intensify cravings for sweet and salt.

Zinc is used for cataract prophilaxy and progressive destruction of the retina, which causes yellow spot degeneration – one of the causes of blindness.
