Description:
Zinc is an essential trace element because it is used by every cell in the body for the hundreds of processes that take place continuously in order to support your health. Zinc is contained in enzymes - chemicals that do everything from digesting your food to healing wounds, fighting off bacteria and viruses to supporting our taste and smell senses. Zinc is required by the body to support growth and development from pregnancy through to adult life.
A deficiency of Zinc is rare, but not uncommon and may present itself with symptoms including slowed growth, loss of appetite, slow wound healing, poor sense of smell, changes in vision, diarrhoea and nausea. If you have concerns, then it is highly recommended that a doctor or health professional diagnose a Zinc deficiency first. However, because the body does not produce or store Zinc it relies on external sources so to avoid a deficiency it is important to maintain a healthy diet.
Food is a great source of Zinc, particularly high protein foods such as beef, pork, liver, poultry and eggs. Cheese, beans, nuts and wheat germ are also a good source but the Zinc is less easily absorbed. Dietary supplements are a great option for maintaining a consistent supply of Zinc to the body. Zinc is present in almost all multivitamins and is also available on its own.

What is Swanson Zinc used for?
As Zinc is so critical for all the processes in the body, it is important to ensure you have a balanced food intake in your diet to include protein-rich food. However, for people that have a digestive disorder or are a vegetarian, they may find it harder to absorb enough Zinc through diet alone. Choosing a supplement like Swanson Zinc capsules will help maintain a consistent supply of this vital mineral.
There are many health reasons for ensuring a good supply of Zinc in your diet and supplementation including:
- Maintaining vision: Zinc is present in high concentrations in the eye. A Zinc deficiency could alter vision.
- Boosts the immune system: Zinc helps to fight off viruses, infections and may even help to reduce the symptoms of the common cold.
- Promotes wound healing: Zinc may help with skin problems such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. Research suggests that people with acne have lower levels of Zinc.
- Supports the treatment of chronic ailments like arthritis, lupus, underactive thyroid and chronic fatigue.
- Fertility: As Zinc is thought to have a beneficial effect on the production of hormones, Zinc may have a positive effect on the fertility of men and women. In men, zinc is also important for the health of the prostate.
