WHAT IS ZINC-COPPER BALANCE ® ?
Zinc and copper are essential minerals, critical to immune function and connective tissue formation. They also help our body metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Unfortunately, zinc supplementation is known to cause copper deficiency. As such, we designed Zinc-Copper Balance® to provide a balanced ratio of zinc to copper, to ensure optimal levels of these two important minerals are absorbed.
HOW DOES ZINC-COPPER BALANCE ® HELP WITH OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM?
Zinc and copper have been extensively studied in a range of conditions, ranging from skin conditions (e.g. dermatitis) to lower respiratory infections (e.g. pneumonia). Zinc has been shown to be essential for the function of white blood cells, which help protect the body from bacterial and virus invasion. As such, its not surprising that zinc supplementation can reduce the symptoms caused by viral infection. A number of trials in humans have shown that zinc supplementation is associated with a decrease in deaths due to severe pneumonia (a lower respiratory infection). Zinc has been shown to reduce the duration and severity of diarrheal episodes due to viral infections. Furthermore, researchers that shown that zinc deficiency results in dysregulation of IL-6, a molecule involved in inflammation. A recent study showed that Zinc was deficient in people with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune inflammatory condition. Zinc-Copper Balance® should be considered to help boost the immune system and fight against infection and autoimmune conditions.
We know that our immune health is crucial to our general wellbeing. The immune system is your body’s natural defense system. It works by recognising the difference between your body’s cells and foreign cells, allowing it to destroy any that could be potentially harmful.
Changes in our schedules, changes in seasons and other outside factors can influence how well our immune system functions. Here we share a few products that you may want to consider to help support a healthy immune system.
