Element #30 on the Periodic Table, Zinc (Zn) is a bluish white, lustrous metal. Used primarily to coat other metals to prevent mold and corrosion, Zinc is an extremely important nutritional element. Zinc is unusual in that it quickly penetrates and moves through all bodily fluids, especially saliva and nasal secretions. Zinc deficiency has been linked to numerous types of birth defects such as Down's Syndrome, Cleft Lip, Spina Bifida, and Club Limbs. Hiatal hernias have also been linked to low zinc levels, as have such ailments as Alzheimers, Paranoia, Diabetes, PMS, Depression, Infertility, Herpes, Acne, Obesity, Anemia, Alcoholism, Hypertension, Thyroid Disorders, Urinary Tract Infections, Low Libido, Hair Loss, Crohn's Disease, Prostate Cancer, and various eye diseases, including cataracts. In one study, women who were given proper zinc supplements showed an increase of 20% in mental capacity over a 6 week period. Zinc has been medically proven to shrink enlarged prostate glands, helping to prevent prostate cancer. Zinc is essential in maintaining a healthy male respoductive system. It has been shown to be effective in promoting proper brain function and hormone production, which results in greater libido.About Angstrom Minerals
In order for a mineral to be assimilated correctly on the cellular level, it must be in a form no larger than an angstrom in size. These angstrom-sized particles should also be completely water soluble, which allows the mineral to be quickly 100% absorbed in either the mouth (sublingually) or in the upper stomach where lower stomach acids will not destroy them. It takes 10,000 angstrom-sized particles lined up on a horizontal plane to cross the distance equal to one micron. Please note that these are not colloidal minerals. Colloidal may help to a certain degree, but may accumulate in the various tissues of the body causing toxicity. Angstrom sized particles of minerals are the size in which plants, fruits and vegetables deliver minerals to humans.
Safety Guidelines
Most minerals should be taken early in the day except for Gold, Calcium, Copper, and at times, Chromium. Do not take Zinc or Molybdenum at the same time as you take the Copper; wait at least ½ hour between dosages or they cancel one another out.
