Defend, Repair, Recover: The Zinc Advantage
You've seen how your immune system has multiple divisions….
It can also deal with different threats:
-
"Recruiters": like cytokines which signal to the rest of the immune system to come for aid
-
"Attackers": that kill pathogens by attacking it with antibodies
-
"Clean up crew": like phagocytes which clear out remaining harmful debris
Anti Viral and Anti Bacterial Defenses
Again, micronutrients are essential for this system to work. Especially zinc, it not only has direct anti microbial (anti infection) activity, but it's also required for T-cell and B-cell activity.
Pooled data from 6 randomized controlled trials showed that patients who took zinc had a shorter duration of cold symptoms compared to placebo.
Zinc can cut the duration of the common cold by about 33%.
Pooled data from 2 randomized controlled trials found that prophylaxis zinc supplementation can also be helpful: daily zinc supplementation substantially reduced the incidence of colds compared to placebo.
Don't Let Poor Absorption Impair Your Immunity
Synerzinc is one of our most popular products because many people struggle to get enough zinc in their diet:
-
Zinc is lost in sweat
-
Iron supplementation reduces zinc levels
-
Poor gut health impairs zinc absorption
-
Plant source of zinc are poorly absorbed because naturally occurred phytates inhibit zinc
Our research and development team formulated synerzinc with two forms of zinc, to increase absorption no matter what you're eating….
Immune Co Factors
Many zinc products fall short because they don't contain copper - this is problematic since zinc and copper compete for absorption. We've also added selenium, a micronutrient critical for thyroid function, and Glutathione - an important antioxidant which gets depleted by colds.
At least 2 capsules per day goes a long way towards supporting your immune system during the winter months!
