It's very important, then, for people concerned about bone health that nutrients be taken along with calcium.  Some of them include: magnesium (in a 2:1 ratio), zinc, silica, manganese, copper, boron, and potassium.  While there are others, these are the ones that can make the biggest difference for bioavailability.  Some of these, like magnesium and zinc, can increase absorption in the gut, while others, like the boron and silica increase the actual uptake of calcium by the bones and its subsequent integration as new bone mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tWhy Chelated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tChelated simply means that a particular mineral is bonded to a protein molecule, for example aspartate or glycinate.

It is especially important in the prostate gland where supplemental zinc has been shown to decrease prostate inflammation.  Zinc is a regulator of the immune system ensuring that cells for identifying and killing microbes, viruses and cancerous cells are in good working order.  Zinc is a cofactor for the antioxidant system superoxide dismutase (SOD).  Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.  They are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tZinc also speeds wound healing and is used for the healing of burns and surgical incisions.  Zinc is involved in the sensory organs, the eyes, nose and taste buds. Zinc regulates the activity of blood sugar levels, for blood sugar control, thyroid hormone, for metabolism and the digestion of sugar and protein.  Natural health practitioners use zinc for a variety of health concerns including; acne, benign prostatic hyperplasia, colds, flus, diabetes, diaper rash, stomach ulcers, macular degeneration, impotence, osteoporosis, eczema and wound healing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tAre You Deficient?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tOne of the first signs of zinc deficiency can be altered taste and smell. Zinc levels are decreased by diarrhea, kidney disease, liver disease, alcoholism and diabetes.  Zinc is not absorbed when it is consumed with fibre, phytates (found in grains and legumes), hard water, calcium, copper and iron.  Zinc is lost through perspiration so supplementation may be helpful for athletes, those who live in hot climates and those who regularly use saunas or steam rooms.  Zinc is depleted by the following medications: oral contraceptives, some diuretics, ulcer medications, antiviral medication and some antibiotics.  Much of our food is deficient in zinc due to poor soil levels of the mineral.  Food processing techniques destroy zinc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tProstate Health\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tGetting up frequently at night, pain in the groin, painful urination, and reduced sexual function -  all symptoms of common prostate conditions.  The prostate is the organ responsible for producing the fluid part of seminal emissions, helping to control the flow of urine, and for the contractions that cause ejaculation during orgasm.  It’s no wonder that when a man has a concern with his prostate that it can be troublesome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tProstate problems occur when the gland becomes infected or swollen.  The most common prostate condition is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).  It occurs in men over the age of fifty (but can occur earlier) due to hormonal imbalances, heredity, poor diet, nutrient deficiencies or high cholesterol.  The growth of malignant or benign tumours can also cause prostate swelling. Your PSA level (prostate specific antigen) can indicate the degree of enlargement; it can also indicate whether or not you are at risk for cancer.

Zinc is an important trace element in the body. It plays a key role in maintaining immune health by stimulating the production of immune cells, regulating natural killer cell activity and mediating cytokine production. Clinical research has demonstrated that daily supplementation with zinc helps to maintain immune function in adults and adolescents, as well as in the airways of children. Zinc also has a long history of use in dermatological health. It helps to maintain immune function in the skin, while promoting collagen synthesis to help maintain skin structure. Additionally, zinc has a role in maintaining hair and nail health, and maintains bone health by regulating bone formation and resorption. Zinc Glycinate Liquid provides a bioavailable source of zinc to help meet daily zinc requirements. In one randomized crossover trial, zinc bisglycinate was demonstrated to have 43% higher bioavailability than zinc gluconate.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tGenestra Zinc Glycinate (Liquid) Features and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tProvides 30 mg of zinc bisglycinate per teaspoon to contribute to daily zinc requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps to maintain immune function and healthy bones, hair, nails, and skin\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tAids in the maintenance of normal DNA, RNA and protein synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tDelicious natural peach-tangerine flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"Genestra Brands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42622947885227,"sku":"04226","price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/04226-genestra-brands-zinc-glycinate-liquid-natural-peach-tangerine-flavour-450mL-min.jpg?v=1741609700"},{"product_id":"webber-naturals-zinc-citrate-50mg-180-tablets","title":"Webber Naturals Zinc Citrate 50mg, 180 Tablets","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWebber Naturals Zinc Citrate Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWebber Naturals Zinc is a very active mineral in human metabolism.

The bis-glycinate chelated form ensures enhanced bioavailability while minimizing the digestive discomfort often associated with other zinc supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCanPrev Zinc Bis-Glycinate 50mg Ultra Strength Features and Benefits:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 mg of pure elemental zinc per capsule for ultra-strength nutritional support\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRAACS™ zinc bis-glycinate chelate for superior absorption and bioavailability\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreferred chelated form that is gentle on the digestive system\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps maintain immune system function and support immune defenses\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports protein synthesis and cellular metabolism\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes wound healing and tissue repair\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy skin, hair, and nails\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributes to thyroid and prostate health\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports mood balance and cognitive function\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps maintain normal vision and night vision\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions essential for overall health\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan-friendly vegetable capsules\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean formula free from GMOs, gluten, dairy, soy, and artificial additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CanPrev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42623002935467,"sku":"195565","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/195565-canprev-zinc-bis-glycinate-50mg-ultra-strength-120-vegetable-capsules-min.jpg?v=1773642254"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/collections\/bestvitamin-zinc-copper-front-min_1.jpg?v=1682469031","url":"https:\/\/www.vitamart.ca\/fr\/collections\/zinc.oembed","provider":"Vitamart.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
