Zinc is an extremely important mineral for the body's equilibrium. It is important to note that the Zinc of which we are speaking is an organic form of Zinc at a low dosage that is used as a trace element.
This mineral performs important actions in numerous enzymatic reactions within the human body. Besides its fundamental detoxifying and defensive action against heavy metal intoxications, it possesses a potent anti-infection force, aids in hormonal regulation (especially in the thyroid gland and for menstruation regulation), defends against allergies and has a strong anti-degenerative and anti-tumoral action. In addition, it has a strong stimulating action on various aspects of human sexuality.
Suggested products
We usually recommend a highly absorbable preparation, such as Zinc oxyprolinates in liquid form (Driatec).
Dosage
The standard dosage is 2,5 ml per day. It’s often useful to combine the use of Zinc with that of Copper and Manganese, as in the product Manganese Copper Zinc .
The dosage for children (from 6 to 12 years) is half of the adult’s dosage. The dosage for smaller children is 10-15 drops (0,5-0,75 ml) of the product to be diluted in water or juice or given along with food.
In particular cases, such as an acute cold or in the case of acute infectious forms (tracheo-bronchitis, cystitis), Zinc can be extremely helpful, especially if combined with Copper. The treatment consists of 5-6 doses per day for the 2-4 days that are necessary for recovery.
