Zinc

Why choose Biophénix Zinc ? √ Exclusive: vegan, organic full extraction© √ Exceptional assimilation, √ One capsule a day is enough, √ Designed and produced in France, by our team. Organic zinc Zinc is, after iron, the quantitatively most important trace element in our body. The highest concentrations are found in muscle tissue, the liver, the male reproductive organs, the bones, the retina and the iris. A zinc deficiency can be the cause of : √ Growth disorders √ Decreased immunity √ Decreased sperm and testosterone production in men √ Decreased oestrogen production in women. √ Dysregulation of insulin production, storage and use √ Vision problems √ Difficulty healing, skin problems, and problems with skin appendages (hair and nails) √ Loss of taste √ Higher oxidative risk. The body has no significant reserve of zinc, which is why a regular dietary intake is necessary. Zinc is present in large quantities in oysters, but pollution requires caution. It is also found in meat. Although cereals contain enough zinc to meet daily needs, the presence of phytates, molecules capable of binding metals and trace elements (and thus eliminating them), reduces its absorption. Long considered negligible factors in human nutrition, trace elements such as zinc have attracted growing interest in recent years. Considerable progress in understanding the functioning of enzymes, hormonology, immunology and biology has demonstrated the important roles of trace elements in the balance of our health.
