Nutrient deficiencies can negatively affect any lifestyle, but athletes and those whose lives include strenous physical activity are most sensitive to a lack of proper nutrition. One of the most essential of all nutrients is Zinc, which is vital to immune system function, wound healing and healthy cell growth.
A new study finds that active individuals with diets low in Zinc (typically found in meats, eggs, seafood, cheese, beans, fortified cereals, nuts and wheat germ) may be putting themselves at risk for unhealthy cardiovascular performance. According to researchers at the U. S. Department of Agriculture, healthy adult males with low Zinc intake were found to perform much more poorly on tests of cardiovascular endurance than men who received the proper amounts of Zinc....August 3, 2005

A recent study conducted by The Lewin Group confims that taking certain dietary supplements can help seniors live longer more independent lives while reducing health care costs by billions of dollars. Here are some key findings of the study, which was commissioned by the Dietary Supplement Education Alliance (DSEA):
The supplements studied - Omega-3 Fatty Acids (fish oil capsules) and Lutein (with zeaxanthin - have reported savings of $3.1 billion and $2.5 billion respectively over five years, resulting from reduced doctor's visits, hospitalizations, and avoided transitions to dependency. Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Lutein (with zeaxanthin) are natural nutritional supplements allowing seniors to9 avoid common conditions such as coronary heart disease (CHD) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Daily intake of approximately 1,800 milligrams of Omega-3 by Americans over the age of 65 can reduce the occurrence of CHD, resulting in a potential five-year (2006-2010) savings of $3.1 billion in health care expenditures and an estimated 384,303 few hospitalizations.
Daily intake of 6-10 milligrams of Lutein (with zeaxanthin) by seniors can reduce the relative risk of AMD, resulting in an estimated five-year (2006-2010) net savings of $2.5 billion from avoided transition of approximately 98,219 individuals to dependancy either in the community or a nursing facility...February 10, 2006

Zinc is present in nearly all body tissues, especially in the thyroid, pancreas and reproductive organs. This mineral is involved in the body's enzymatic reactions, the synthesis of proteins and in carbohydrate metabolism. Because zinc is essential to cell formation, it is needed for healing and maintaining healthy tissues. Zinc is a bacterial suppressor and a necessary element in oil producing glands of the skin. Many adolescents are deficient in zinc.
For daily supplementation, each easy-to-take tablet supplies 50 mg of essential zinc, in easy-to-digest, highly absorbable chelated form.
REMEMBER: Since zinc has a large number of interactions with various drugs, we suggest that if you do take any prescribed medications do not take zinc supplements until you have consulted with your physician.
