Tianshi Zinc Capsules (60 In A Bottle)

The amount of zinc added in Tiens Zinc supplement is in line with an individual’s recommended daily nutritional needs. Each capsule contains 0.8-1.2mg zinc. Zinc can be derived from food, vegetable and meat, but the absorption rate depends on the person’s stomach acid concentration and other factors that may make absorption and utilisation difficult. This supplement is composed of lactic Zinc, which has a high rate of absorption, but not the pernicious effects of phytate and phytic acid. It is the ideal supplement and, we can confidently say, the best zinc for every adult. It also contains glucose and egg protein powder.

SOURCES: Most animal foods contain adequate amounts of zinc. Oysters are particularly high with more than ten times as much as other sources (they are also high in copper and possibly, in ocean polluting chemicals and metals). Zinc is added to animal feeds to increase growth rates, so meat usually contains high amounts. Red meats (beef, lamb and pork) and liver are fairly high; herring is good as are egg (yokes and milk products, though the zinc in eggs and milk products may not be as available to the body as that found in other sources). Other fish and pouItry also contain fair zinc levels with iron. The zinc in animals' foods seems to be better absorbed than that in the vegetable sources, but one can reduce meat foods and eat whole grains and beans and still obtain adequate zinc. Overall, though, in my experience it is not easy for most people eating a relatively healthy diet to obtain the minimum requirement of 15mg daily unless they focus on zinc containing foods.

Whole grains such as whole wheat, rye and oats are rich in zinc and are good sources for vegetarians. Even though the minerals from these foods is utilized less well because the fiber and phytates in the grain covering bind some zinc in the gastrointestinal tract, much of the zinc in these foods is still available to the body. Nuts are fairly good sources with pecans and Brazil nuts the highest. Pumpkin seeds contain zinc and are thought to be helpful to the prostate gland. 'Ginger root is good zinc source as is mustard, chili powder, and black pepper. In general, fruits and vegetables are not good zinc sources; aIthough peas. carrots, beefs and cabbage contain some zinc.

The zinc in grain is found mainly in the germ and bra covering so refining them will lower the zinc content. Approximately 80 percent of zinc are lost in making white flour from whole wheat since zinc is lost. Zinc is soluble in water, canning foods or cooking in water can cause zinc losses. Zinc losses have also be prevalent in agricuItural soils and it is therefore less available in foods. Chemical fertilizers also decrease soil zinc levels. Many soils -nearly 30 states in the United-States are deficient in zinc. Water especially from some well contain zinc. Water was better sources when some of the water pipes were galvanized (containing zinc) as well as some cooking pots. Now water pipes are more commonly made of copper which can become toxic at higher levels.

FUNCTION

Zinc is involved in a multitudes of human body functions and is part of many enzyme system with regard to metabolism. Zinc is part of alcohol dehydrogenate which helps the liver detoxify alcohols including ethanol (drinking alcohol) methanol, Ethanol glycol and retinol (vitamin A). Zinc is also thought to help utilize and maintain body levels of vitamins A. Through this action, zinc may help maintain healthy skin cells and thus may be helpful in generating new skin after burns or injury. By helping

collagen formation, zinc may also improve wound healing. Zinc aids the skin's oil glands and so may help in acne problems.
