WTN Zinc Bisglycinate is a dietary supplement containing one of the best and most easily utilized forms of zinc, which is also excellent for sensitive digestive tract.
Zinc bisglycinate is a molecule formed by zinc and an amino acid called glycine, which is recognised by the body as a protein and therefore does not compete with other ions, making it very effective for absorption.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for the functioning of metabolic processes in the body. As a micronutrient, its daily requirement is not high, but its continuous intake in adequate amounts contributes to the regulation of blood sugar levels and the normal functioning of the endocrine system. For young children it is essential for growth, for adult men it contributes to the production of healthy sperm and to the maintenance of testosterone levels in the blood. It plays a role in the processes of sight, smell and taste, and its antibacterial action helps to cleanse the skin, heal wounds, detoxify the body and neutralise harmful metals.
How is WTN Zinc Bisglycinate superior to other similar products?
It is an excellent bioavailable molecular form compared to most organic forms (e.g. zinc citrate, zinc gluconate, etc.) and all inorganic forms of zinc (oxide, carbonate, chloride, sulphate).
It is a fully reactive form and therefore does not contain harmful oxides that would overload the body's antioxidant system. Low-quality zinc bisglycinate products contain a mixture of zinc oxide and zinc bisglycinate (but this is not usually indicated on the label).
It does not cause stomach upset or abdominal discomfort.
It does not contain any processing aids that are harmful to the body.
What should you use it for?
Zinc is a cofactor of over 300 enzymes, essential for growth, vision, hearing, taste, thyroid, prostate function, sperm formation, sexual development, immune function, wound healing, testosterone production. It also acts as an antioxidant, stabilises cell membranes, has anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity against certain viruses.
The second most abundant trace element in the body after iron, zinc is essential for the growth and development of all living organisms, as it plays a role in the function of many building and regulatory enzymes.
Because of this, if the body does not get enough zinc, deficiency symptoms can occur, such as:
- increased fatigue,
- feelings of weakness,
- reduced immunity frequent illnesses,
- severe hair loss,
- loss of appetite,
- loss of sense of smell and taste,
- skin problems (e.g. eczema),
- digestive problems,
- psychological disorders,
- thyroid dysfunction,
- low vitamin A levels,
- slow growth and development.
It is important to note that the symptoms of zinc deficiency are not always clearly and specifically attributable to low zinc levels, other diseases or conditions can cause similar symptoms.
Why and how does the product work?
Unfortunately, zinc deficiency is a common problem in humans today and can be caused by a number of factors:
- dietary deficiencies,
- poor stomach acid,
- taking contraceptives,
- vegetarianism,
- poor absorption (Chron's disease, celiac disease, pancreatic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.),
- increased zinc requirements (pregnancy, breastfeeding, chronic stress),
- alcohol consumption,
- certain medicines (e.g. diuretics and antacids),
- ageing.
Prevention and treatment of zinc deficiency can be achieved through an appropriate diet and, if necessary, zinc supplements.
Zinc bisglycinate does not have an irritant effect on the gastric mucosa, and the glycine ingested has a beneficial effect on the liver, effectively treating fatigue (through its action on GABA receptors).
