DESCRIPTION

New Roots Herbal's Ultra Zinc is formulated with ʟ‑taurine, B vitamins, nutraceuticals, and cofactors for greater assimilation. Zinc heals wounds, fights infections and flus, and is among the most important of the trace elements in human nutrition.

Zinc is essential for life. It heals wounds, fights infections, and is among the most important of the trace elements in human nutrition. Zinc is vital for the immune system and the expression of genes. By boosting the immune system, zinc can protect against fungal infections and various infectious disorders, such as conjunctivitis and pneumonia. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.

Zinc is essential to numerous chemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis and cellular energy. Its immune system values begin with zinc’s ability to regulate the production of T cells. Zinc also helps provide critical protection to the liver, assists in deterring enlargement of the prostate gland, and is essential in maintaining reproductive-organ health. Zinc is required for repairing tissues, stabilizes cell membranes for accelerated healing, and inhibits abnormal clotting, all of which are important for healing of the damaged heart after a heart attack. Zinc is important for over 300 enzymes in the body, having wide-reaching effects such as heart health and cancer prevention.

The TP53 gene regulates the immune system to find cancer cells and instructs them to commit suicide or what we call in medicine “apoptosis.” When environmental chemicals mutate this gene, it becomes a fertilizer for cancer and decreases apoptosis. The importance of zinc is that there must be a zinc molecule in the TP53 gene protein (p53) or it becomes mutated. Instead of protecting us from cancer, p53 without zinc can cause it. Zinc’s healing abilities include skin wounds, eczema, rosacea, burns, and other irritations. Zinc repairs the skin’s top layer, in part by helping to process the essential fatty acids that encourage healing. Adding zinc supplements to your diet may therefore lead to more efficient recovery from burns, psoriasis, rosacea, hemorrhoids, and eczema, especially if the affected area is not healing well. The body also requires extra nutrients such as zinc to help repair burned skin and reinforce the immune response.

Zinc plays an important role in maintaining healthy cells. Not only is zinc essential in regulating the activities of 300 enzymes, but 1400 zinc-finger proteins are involved in gene expression of various proteins. Low zinc levels have recently been associated with the development of esophageal and head/neck cancer. Supporting that claim are some studies which have shown that as much as 45–65% of patients with head and neck cancer may have zinc deficiencies.

The thymus gland is crucial in maintaining a healthy immune system and as we age, it shrinks down to nothing; thymic shrinking has been reversed with zinc supplementation. We are constantly breaking down old genetic material and replacing it with new genetic material; this process is continual and requires huge amounts of an enzyme called “DNA polymerase,” which makes sure that the genetic material is assembled in proper sequence. If there are minute changes to this genetic programming, a new disease may result. What can interfere with this process are the hundreds of chemicals in our environment that bombard us daily. DNA polymerase is another zinc-dependent enzyme, and thus can be helpful in treating chronic fatigue. Zinc also plays a crucial role for diabetes, slows down aging, enhances vision and liver functions, and is effective in detoxifying alcohol.
