ZINC
Did you know that zinc is an important co-factor for enzymes involved in the proper functioning of your antioxidant defence system superoxide dismutase (SOD)? Zinc is critical to overall health and is present in every single cell in the human body. It is the second-most-abundant trace mineral after iron and is considered an essential nutrient; meaning that the body cannot produce or store it, so it must be supplied through diet and/or supplementation including zinc capsules and lozenges.
What foods have zinc? Oysters, poultry, beans, nuts and seafood and although zinc is naturally present in many foods, zinc deficiency, unfortunately, is not rare. This is troubling because zinc is involved in a variety of critical functions inside the body and, among other things, is required for immune function, hormone balance (specifically estrogen and progesterone), and protects and preserves optimal prostate health (in fact, zinc is more concentrated in the prostate than in any other soft tissue in the body).
Zinc is needed for the development and maintenance of immune cells, and even a mild deficiency has been shown to depress immune function, impair macrophage and neutrophil functions, as well as natural killer cell activity (all components of immune activity).
Zinc, whether it's from food, lozenges or supplements, is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that supports healthy cell growth and division, so is ideal to help maintain health and fight disease. As a busy mineral involved in numerous chemical pathways and organ systems, zinc is also involved in regulating insulin, blood sugar control, thyroid hormone production, as well as sugar and protein metabolism.
MAGNESIUM
You’ve probably heard that magnesium is critical for strong & healthy bones, but did you know that it plays a role in every cell inside your body? Indeed, this mineral is essential to all living beings and is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions inside the body through its role as an enzymatic co-factor.
Without magnesium, nerve and muscle impulse transmission becomes compromised, which directly impacts our nervous system. It is known as the “relaxation mineral” and is central to the stress response, so, when in adequate amounts, enables the body to better handle various stressors. Supplementing with magnesium will help calm the nervous system, as well as balance mood, PMS and resolve sleep problems & insomnia.
It is also a powerful antispasmodic so is invaluable to relax muscles, alleviate spasms, tics, twitches, and even relieve menstrual and gastrointestinal cramps. In addition, magnesium is essential to the cardiovascular system and deficiency can cause abnormal heart rhythms, coronary spasms, and buildup of arterial plaque. It also works in tandem with calcium to support healthy blood pressure.
Unfortunately, deficiency in this mineral is one of the top four most prevalent, along with vitamins A and D, and omega-3 fatty acids. This is worrying when you consider how critical magnesium is to health. Even if you adhere to a clean and varied diet, thanks to soil depletion, most foods today contain far less magnesium than they once did. Add to this the fact that stress depletes this mineral, and that certain people have more difficulty absorbing magnesium, and it becomes clear that most, if not all people, could benefit from a supplement.
VITAMIN B6 (PYRIDOXINE)
Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin that participates in more functions in the human body than any other nutrient. It is essential to over 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism and plays a major role in everything from movement to memory to energy expenditure, blood sugar regulation and healthy blood flow. Because the body cannot make its own B6, it must be supplied daily through diet and/or supplementation.
Vitamin B6 helps the body maintain a healthy nervous system, which is why supplementation is often recommended for healthy mood balance, and to support health mood balance. Pyridoxine is also involved in the production of key hormones like serotonin and norepinephrine, which are important for mood regulation and various aspects of cognitive functioning.
Because vitamin B6 assists in the production of hemoglobin it is often suggested to help prevent anemia. B6 is also considered a natural painkiller, so supplementation can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain associated with chronic pain conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
