ZINC AND MEN'S HEALTH
Zinc is necessary to maintain normal serum testosterone. Zinc also has been proven to help the body produce healthier sperm by increasing sperm count and motility. Zinc deficiency has been found to have a severe impact on the male prostate gland. Low zinc levels result in increased risk of heart disease, weight gain, and obesity in men.
ZINC AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Zinc is a component in the thymic hormone which controls and facilitates the maturation of lymphocytes. Zinc also plays a role in cell division and DNA replication, aiding in the production of immune system cells. Zinc taken at the first sign of a cold reduce the duration and symptom severity. The immune system weakens with age, and zinc deficiency may be partly to blame. Zinc is needed for night vision and may also slow the progression of macular degeneration.
ZINC BOOSTS BRAIN ACTIVITY
Zinc is found in the vesicles of the mossy fiber system of the brain's hippocampus. These fibers play a role in enhancing memory and thinking skills. Experiments have shown that accident victims who are given zinc supplements respond with improved cognitive function. Zinc is diverted to the healing tissues following injury or surgery and becomes less available for other essential functions.
ZINC STIMULATES TASTE, SMELL AND IMPROVES APPETITE
Zinc activates areas of the brain that receive and process information from taste and smell sensors. Levels of zinc in plasma were found to influence appetite and taste preference. Insufficient zinc has been linked to anorexia, which responds well to zinc replacement treatment.
ZINC DEFICIENCY LINKED TO ANOREXIA AND BULIMIA
Diminished Zinc levels may result in a diminished desire to eat because zinc is critical to the senses of taste and smell. A five-year study showed an astounding 85 percent remission rate of anorexia nervosa in patients given a zinc supplement. Using zinc supplements resulted in weight gain, better body function and improved mental outlook.
