INFORMATION ON ZINC A.A.C.

Zinc is a vital mineral involved in numerous enzymatic reactions throughout the body. It is essential for immune competence, DNA and protein synthesis, wound healing, and normal growth. Zinc deficiency can impair immune response, slow wound repair, and affect hormone balance.

Functions:

  • Supports immune cell development and antiviral defense

  • Activates over 300 enzymes involved in digestion, metabolism, and DNA synthesis

  • Promotes tissue repair, skin integrity, and wound healing

  • Regulates reproductive hormones and sperm production

  • Supports hair, nail, and skin health

  • Involved in neurotransmission and cognitive function

TAILORBLEND uses zinc bisglycinate to maximize absorption and efficacy while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects.

POPULAR USE & PUBLISHED BENEFITS bbbb

Zinc is an essential trace mineral commonly used to support:

  • Immune system function and infection defense

  • Wound healing and tissue repair

  • Skin health, including acne and eczema support

  • Reproductive health and testosterone regulation

  • Hair and nail strength

  • Growth, development, and cellular function

  • Enzymatic reactions (over 300 zinc-dependent enzymes)

WHOLE FOODS

Zinc is present in both animal and plant foods, though plant-based zinc is less bioavailable due to phytates.

Animal Sources (highly bioavailable):

  • Red meat (beef, lamb)

  • Poultry

  • Shellfish (oysters, crab, lobster)

  • Eggs

Plant-Based Sources:

  • Legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans)

  • Nuts and seeds (pumpkin seeds, cashews, sunflower seeds)

  • Whole grains (oats, quinoa, brown rice)

  • Fortified cereals

RECOMMENDED USE

Synergistic Nutrients:

  • Copper: Works with zinc to maintain trace mineral balance

  • Vitamin A: Zinc supports its mobilization from the liver

  • Magnesium: Supports enzymatic and reproductive functions

  • Vitamin C & Selenium: Work with zinc in antioxidant and immune pathways

Typical Dosages:

  • Maintenance: 8–11 mg/day (adult RDA)

  • Functional support (immune, skin, or reproductive support): 15–25 mg/day
