Product Description

What is zinc?
Zinc is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself, which is why it must be obtained through food or in the form of dietary supplements. Zinc is involved in a multitude of important processes in the body and is an essential component of over 300 vital enzymes and is involved in the production of numerous hormones.

Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as in the healthy functioning of the immune system. We use the relatively new and still relatively unknown zinc bisglycinate, in which the zinc atom is bound to two amino acid molecules.

Zinc bisglycinate is not attacked by stomach acid and also withstands attacks by enzymes in the duodenum without damage. In the small intestine, zinc bisglycinate is absorbed into the bloodstream to a very high degree via special transport systems.

Compared to zinc gluconate and zinc citrate, which are known for their good bioavailability, zinc bisglycinate boasts a bioavailability that is over 40% higher.

What are the consequences of a zinc deficiency and why is it so widespread?
Our daily diet often doesn't provide enough zinc to meet our daily requirements for this vital trace element. This is partly due to the high proportion of highly processed foods, which are generally quite low in zinc. The consequences of a zinc deficiency can be varied and include symptoms such as reduced physical performance, difficulty concentrating, lack of energy, impaired immune function and a resulting increased susceptibility to infections, reduced hormone levels, hair loss, delayed wound healing, reduced fertility, skin problems, diarrhea, and impaired regeneration. Since zinc is required for numerous metabolic processes, a zinc deficiency can also lead to a reduced metabolic rate, which can manifest as weight gain or difficulty burning body fat. Because the body cannot store zinc in significant quantities, even a short-term insufficient intake is enough to cause a zinc deficiency.

What are the health benefits of zinc?
Adequate zinc intake can effectively prevent all the negative health and well-being effects of zinc deficiency described in the previous section. In addition, zinc has antiviral properties and can improve immune system function, thereby reducing susceptibility to infectious diseases, as it is crucial for the activity of the immune system's natural killer cells. Since zinc is a component of numerous enzymes responsible for breaking down pollutants, heavy metals, and toxins in the body, this important trace element can support the body's natural detoxification processes.

Zinc is also an essential component of the body's own antioxidants, and increased zinc intake can therefore support the neutralization of free radicals in the body. Elevated levels of free radicals can damage the body's cells and DNA and are associated with the development of a variety of diseases, ranging from cancer to cardiovascular disease. Since free radicals accelerate the body's aging process, many scientists consider increased levels of the body's own antioxidants to be a natural anti-aging therapy. There is even evidence that zinc may have a mood-enhancing effect and alleviate certain types of depression, as it is a component of an enzyme in the brain that is important for the synthesis of serotonin.

What are the benefits of zinc for athletes?
Zinc offers a number of additional benefits, particularly for athletes and bodybuilders, including accelerated recovery after training. This is because zinc is essential for repairing training-induced microtrauma in muscle tissue. Zinc can also promote muscle growth, as it is not only necessary for optimal levels of anabolic hormones but, according to studies, can increase muscle-building hormone levels in athletes by up to 30% while simultaneously counteracting a decline in IGF-1 levels. Since zinc improves skin elasticity, it can reduce or even prevent the development of stretch marks, which can result from rapid muscle growth and are irreversible.

High-dose zinc supplementation, ranging from 75 to 150 mg, is very popular among strength athletes using anabolic steroids. At these doses, it inhibits the conversion of muscle-building hormones to estrogen and is reportedly often sufficient to prevent estrogen-related side effects such as water retention and the development of gynecomastia when used at moderate doses of these hormonal substances. For athletes not using steroids, it may also be of interest that a reduced conversion of muscle-building hormones to estrogen results in higher levels of the free, active primary male muscle-building hormone. However, it should be noted that zinc at these doses can inhibit the absorption of the important trace element copper and may lead to toxic side effects if used over a prolonged period.

What can increase zinc requirements?
Athletes have a significantly increased need for zinc due to the intense physical exertion and the increased loss of minerals and trace elements through sweat. Vegetarians and vegans also frequently suffer from zinc deficiency, as they do not consume animal sources of zinc, and a predominantly plant-based diet is rich in phytates, which inhibit zinc absorption in the digestive tract. Zinc requirements increase with age, and the body also needs larger amounts of zinc during pregnancy. Certain illnesses can also lead to an increased need for zinc. Finally, alcohol consumption and the use of certain medications can inhibit zinc absorption and thus increase the need for zinc.
