Yamamoto Nutrition Zinco 10mg 30 Capsule

The importance of zinc is often underestimated. It is no coincidence that over 80% of people lack this precious trace element. About 2 g of zinc is present in the human body; it is concentrated in the muscles, bones, prostate, eyes and skin, but can also be accumulated in the bones and spleen, where it is not readily available to be released when zinc is lacking. About 1% of the zinc present in the body is lost every day, mostly through the intestines and to a much lesser extent through sweat and urine. This precious mineral is involved in a large number of enzymatic processes and has an important role in growth, development and neurological function, with a great impact on growth and the immune response. Over 300 enzymes depend on the presence of zinc, including some involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, others that regulate growth and development processes, as well as others that regulate immune function or are involved in digestive and metabolic functions. One example of a very important enzyme containing zinc is carbonate dehydratase, which lets the body collect the carbon dioxide produced in tissues and eliminate it through the lungs. Its role is truly fundamental, considering how many activities it is involved in. Zinc also plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of structural proteins and membranes; a zinc deficiency would expose them to a higher risk of oxidative damage and thus reduce their functionality. Its "structural" role is linked to the fact that it is involved in the creation of "collagenases", enzymes responsible for the formation of collagen and its elimination when damaged. In the "protein" field, it should be noted that proteins containing zinc are also involved in the regulation of genome transcription and cell signalling processes and influence the release of hormones, positively influencing insulin activity. Considering the countless activities in which its presence is requested, zinc is undoubtedly of great importance, but there are no real effective biological indicators to evaluate the element's nutritional status. Generally its concentration in plasma or serum is evaluated, but these values are not very indicative because they are not sensitive to intense variations both throughout the day and due to inflammation, so the symptoms of a marginal zinc deficiency are not very clear and are often neglected. In children living in developing countries, for example, severe growth retardation and increased susceptibility to infections have been noted. Other proven effects due to a "marginal" deficiency are the alteration or loss of the sense of taste, and a delay in healing processes.
 

The subjects with the greatest risk of zinc deficiency are:

- Infants, especially if premature, children and adolescents;

- Subjects suffering from malnutrition or anorexia nervosa;

- Individuals with type I and II diabetes, diseases that increase the urinary excretion of zinc;

- Individuals with chronic diarrhoea or intestinal diseases characterized by inflammation and/or malabsorption, such as Crohn's disease or coeliac disease;

- Alcoholics, especially if suffering from cirrhosis of the liver;

- Athletes subject to intense endurance work with high levels of sweat;

- Individuals in drug therapy with tetracyclines, quinolones, bisphosphonates, chelators, anticonvulsants and diuretics;

- Individuals who take iron and calcium supplements, which can significantly reduce zinc absorption;

- Strict vegans who consume high amounts of grains and legumes: the content of phytates in these foods interferes with the absorption of zinc, drastically reducing it. It is estimated that the zinc requirements in these diets should be increased by 50% compared to individuals on an omnivorous diet.
