Zinc 25mg 120 Tabs (as Citrate) by LAMBERTS is recommended for short periods of use (to cover zinc deficiency in a short period of time). Whole grain milling, a widely used processing method in the UK, causes the zinc levels in these foods to be reduced by over 90%. This fact, combined with the new dietary fad which mandates less animal protein consumption, is very likely one of the reasons why 1 in 3 adults in the UK get less than the recommended amount of zinc. Zinc is an integral part of insulin, the hormone used to treat diabetes, and is essential for all protein synthesis in the body. In cases of increased physical or mental demands of the body, as well as increased consumption of vegetable fiber, there may be a greater need for zinc or a greater loss of zinc from the body, taking into account the fact that foods rich in vegetable fiber prevent the absorption of zinc from the organization. One fifth of the zinc stored in the body is found in the skin. Also, zinc helps in tissue regeneration and participates in some of the enzymatic reactions that are necessary for the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands of the skin. It directly affects many organic systems such as the nervous, immune and reproductive. It also maintains the good functioning of the senses such as taste and smell.
