Zinc Bisglycinate

A lack of zinc can lead to physiological dysfunctions. Although zinc deficiency is quite rare, it still affects 25% of the world's population and mainly in developing countries. This deficiency leads, among other things, to a decline in the immune system, fatigue and skin disorders.

Particularly in pregnant women, a cold, flu or other infection can reduce zinc levels in the body, which can be dangerous for the fetus.

Zinc is a trace mineral essential for many functions in the body, including growth and development, the immune system, healthy skin, hair and nails, and cognitive function. A zinc cure is beneficial in cases of insufficient dietary zinc intake.

According to claims approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), zinc contributes:
- to protect cells against oxidative stress,
- normal functioning of the immune system,
- maintaining normal vision,
- maintaining a normal level of testosterone in the blood,
- normal acid-base metabolism,
- normal carbohydrate metabolism,
- normal metabolism of fatty acids,
- normal metabolism of vitamin A,
- normal DNA synthesis,
- normal cognitive function,
- maintaining normal bones,
- maintaining normal skin, nails and hair,
- the process of cell division,
- normal protein synthesis,
- normal fertility and reproduction,
- normal metabolism of macronutrients.

It is preferable to take Zinc in several doses during the year depending on the need (immunity tested, fertility boost, etc.) with breaks between each dose.

The generally recommended duration of a zinc treatment is 2 months. Our supplement allows you to have a 1 year supply! We advise you to take at least a 2-week break between each 2-month treatment.

Zinc is essentially known for its effects on reproduction in men by intervening in the synthesis of testosterone, in the proper development of the testicles, the epididymis and the prostate but also in development, maturation and mobility. spermatozoa. However, by participating in cell division, it can also be involved in the reproductive process in women.

Our product contains zinc bisglycinate, a form of zinc considered more bioavailable and better tolerated by the stomach than other forms of zinc .

Furthermore, our formula is enriched with vitamin B6 which helps improve the absorption and use of zinc by the body, and vitamin C for its antioxidant and immune actions.

Vitamin B6 has its own health benefits. It is involved in many functions in the body, including protein and carbohydrate metabolism, hemoglobin synthesis and mood regulation.

Therefore, adding vitamin B6 to our zinc formula may provide additional benefits beyond those of zinc itself.

The time of day you take zinc depends on your personal preference. Morning or evening, it's up to you to see what suits you best!

If you are taking a zinc treatment for its effects in fighting acne, it is preferable to take zinc on an empty stomach and away from other medications to limit the risk of interactions. A zinc cure for acne is based on taking 30 mg of zinc daily over a period of 2 to 3 months. Do not exceed the daily dose.

Moreover, as it is during sleep that the brain regenerates, it is at this time that zinc is called upon more. Therefore, lacking zinc can impact sleep quality.

Like magnesium, zinc contributes, in a certain way, to the transformation of melatonin, the sleep hormone. However, this hormone is mainly synthesized at night, which makes it the center of regulation of chronobiological rhythms. . It is secreted directly into the brain, by the pineal gland, when there is no more light. This is how melatonin triggers sleep. Therefore, it is often used to treat difficulty sleeping. Although there are very few studies on the link between zinc and sleep, some highlight the existence of a relationship between zinc consumption, the level of zinc in the blood and the quality of sleep. Across an entire population, individuals suffering from zinc deficiency had short sleep.

However, there is no safety contraindication to combining 1 Zinc tablet with 1 Multi capsule.

Taking zinc can be useful in the context of bodybuilding activities, but also sports. Indeed, zinc is involved in numerous pathways of nutrient metabolism (carbohydrates and fatty acids), and it participates in protein synthesis and that of testosterone (anabolic hormone).

Zinc is involved in testosterone synthesis pathways, which gives zinc a role in maintaining testosterone levels. A study on men over 60 years old with a zinc deficiency and following a 6-month supplementation showed a doubling of blood testosterone levels.

To target the skin area, our zinc formula provides 150% of the reference zinc intake.

To fight acne, it is recommended to take 2 zinc tablets per day (i.e. 30mg/day).

Do not exceed the indicated doses.

Excess zinc is not recommended in the medium and long term.
