Zinc is an element that is involved in the formation of cellular metabolism, and this is essential for immunity. Zinc is a mineral that is responsible for enzymatic functions, for natural development and growth, for quality wound healing, for normal bleeding, for cell and tissue repair, and more.

Zinc is among the elements that are not synthesized individually in the human body, but is also essential for many organic functions. For this reason, it is mandatory to obtain it through food or as a dietary supplement.

Why is zinc so important to the body?

Strengthens the immune system

Immunity is a system consisting of the protective-adaptive reactions of our body. It is divided into four types - general, local, cellular and humoral. What is the role of zinc? We mentioned that zinc is involved in the formation of cellular metabolism, which is a key factor in immunity. Zinc has the ability to facilitate cell formation and production processes. In addition, this element activates processes for the production of immunoglobulins (serum glycoproteins). Immunoglobulins are tiny elements that build antibodies, thus boosting immune function, and blocking the action of the bacteria that enter "the host" in the body.

Helps heal wounds

Zinc has the properties of promoting the healing of severe and superficial burn injuries, skin irritations and injuries. The main reason is that zinc supports the production of collagen. Collagen is the main protein in connective tissue and the most abundant protein in our body as it is found in our bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin and cartilage. It is the main component of connective tissues that builds tendons, ligaments, skin, etc.

Reduces the appearance of acne and protects the skin

The causes of acne are varied, predisposing factors too. Among the most common are the development of bacteria, improper skin care (irregular or too aggressive), hormonal disorders and more.
A large percentage of the world's population suffers from acne and problem skin. Part of the process of acne formation is the development of bacteria, which impairs the upper layer of the skin and activates the inflammatory process.
Studies have shown that professional zinc-based cosmetic products that are intended to treat acne can significantly assist in the treatment (NCBI). They are effective in reducing sebum and blocking bacterial development. The self is a specific fat secretion that is separated from the sebaceous glands. Zinc neutralizes the bacterial action and inhibits the activity of the sebaceous glands, which means that it reduces the production of sebum.

Most commonly, zinc deficiency is characterized by:

• reduced immunity
  
• rough, irritated skin
  
• brittle nails
  
• dry and lifeless hair
  
• hard healing wounds
  
• gastrointestinal diseases
  
• memory and concentration problems
  
• decreased libido
