Think Zinc Link! Thyme to let your immune system shine! It’s high time we return to a reliance upon our God-given first line of defense as found within our innately strong immune system!
In my books I write that Tarzan obviously knew something as he thumped on his Thymus! Zinc is essential for the Thymic Hormones that regulate the bodies immune defenses. Zinc supports the Thymus’ gland function! Along with production of many other hormones ~ think Prostate health and it’s link to zinc!
Zinc is Not a new nutrient hitting the market and should not be new in your medicine cupboards! Zinc goes far beyond an immune building Vital essential mineral nutrient supporting and providing anti-viral properties.
In a blink let us look at Zinc and it’s primary and secondary applications that maybe linked to: wound healing, Tissue growth and repair, macular degeneration, diabetic complication, PMS, acne, ulcers, reduced stiffness in joint inflammation and Cellular Repair. Research shows that Zinc is a link to digestion and essential to the function of over 200 human enzymes. And zinc is necessary to synthesize your DNA and RNA!
Studies have shown zinc may help you smell the stink again! By correcting possible zinc deficiencies, many folks regained a sense TASTE and SMELL!
The point is; like all nutrients in Nature’s Apothecary there is a plethora of what I refer to as Primary Applications as well as “possible” Secondary lessor known Benefits! I enCourage you to get involved, get inspired, dig deep to learn and re-educate yourself!
IF 2020 and beyond has not motivated you to take back your responsibility... well you most likely stopped this read a while ago eyes rolling back into your head! We must Do our own due diligent research! I implore you to go further than the all too easy, misguided tampered with ‘goggle university” to educate yourself!
It is no longer a secret that zinc is an amazingly beneficial mineral for young and old. It is also well documented that the human body does not naturally digest zinc easily. A more bioavailable, zinc may be chelated, which means it is bonded to another compound to make it absorbable.
So here’s to my nod, my wink to zinc. It’s a fact that not all zinc it created equal. My choice of zinc is Picolinate or Chelated. Cheaper forms are known to create stomach upset or may leave a metal taste on your tongue. Theses disturbances are common and an indicator that excessive zinc is passing through the body, unabsorbed. That is, not available for the body to use! Zinc Gluconate, Sulfate or Oxide may also be good choices to consider.
For cold and flu seasons, (if they ever return) consider zinc gluconate lozenges for it ‘May’ shorten illness duration and severity! Since 2020 my purse holds a supply lozenges with 23 mg of elemental zinc.
Though, whole-food sources are the best way; it’s sadly well known that our soils are deficient globally! This micronutrient is lacking due to food processing and/or nutrient-poor soils ;(
Here’s a hint between you me and God! My favorite form of zinc that I’ve raised my family on has been and will remain in the organic raw pumpkin seeds and Cocoa, always on hand! Though not my cup of tea 1 Oyster with its 8.+mg of zinc; deserves a shout out!
“Please consult your medical advisors when considering proactive therapeutic protocols.” A general rule of thumb may look like this:
Most zinc supplements contain 15–30 mg of zinc per serving. Keep in mind Tolerable Upper Intake Level of zinc is around:
-38 mg per day for adults
-3 to 7 mg per day for infants
-7–23 mg per day for kids, and 23–34 mg per day for teens.
