Q. What part does Zinc play in our health?
Zinc is an essential mineral and found in almost every cell. Zinc is an antioxidant nutrient which aids in protein synthesis and wound healing. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence. As a crucial component of one of the body's primary antioxidant enzymes, zinc provides valuable trace mineral nutritional support for the immune system, prostate, eyes, ears, liver and more. |
It is vital for the development of the reproductive organs. Zinc supports healthy prostate functions and male hormone activity. It governs the contractility of muscles which is important for blood stability, and it helps maintain your sense of taste and smell. Zinc maintains the body's alkaline balance and helps in normal tissue function and aids in the digestion and metabolism of phosphorus.
Zinc is a mineral that is essential to the synthesis of DNA and RNA, of proteins, insulin and sperm. The body needs zinc to metabolise carbohydrates, protein, fat and alcohol and to dispose of carbon dioxide and make good use of vitamin A. More than seventy different enzymes require zinc to perform their function.
Q. What are the symptoms of zinc deficiency?
Zinc deficiency most often occurs when zinc intake is inadequate or poorly absorbed, when there are increased losses of zinc from the body, or when the body’s requirement for zinc increases. Signs of zinc deficiency include growth retardation, hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation and impotence, eye and skin lesions, and loss of appetite.
There is also evidence that weight loss, delayed healing of wounds, taste abnormalities, and mental lethargy can occur. Zinc deficiency will likely impair sexual growth and maturation, because this mineral appears to be essential for the manufacture of testosterone.
Since many of these symptoms are general and are associated with other medical conditions, do not assume they are due to a zinc deficiency. It is important to consult with a medical doctor about medical symptoms so that appropriate care can be given.

Q. What is the shelf life of Colloidal Zinc?
Colloids made from non-noble metals such as zinc have a limited shelf life, typically 4 to 6 months, once the bottle is opened. Air, which includes oxygen, enters the bottle when it is opened. The oxygen will cause the metal nanoparticles to slowly oxidise converting them into their ionic state. For this reason, it is best to purchase a bottle size that you would expect to consume in 4 months or less.
