Properties of Zinc
Immune support
Zinc is needed to activate various immune cells. It helps increase the cytotoxic activity of Natural Killer cells and is required for the production of naive T lymphocytes, clonal expansion, the differentiation of TH1/TH2 lymphocytes and the effector functions of lymphocytes once activated. Zinc also helps regulate inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-α, and interferes with the viral replication cycle. Zinc also interferes with the viral replication cycle
Skin health
The skin is in a constant state of renewal and high levels of zinc-based enzymes and proteins are required to manage this process. Further, as an anti-inflammatory, zinc can help to reduce skin inflammation caused by conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. In terms of acne, zinc has been associated with a reduction in sebum production, an increase in anti-inflammatory mediators and antibacterial effects on P. acnes
Antioxidant
As a co-factor of certain antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), zinc helps to neutralise free radicals which can damage cells. In this way, it works to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can help prevent premature ageing of the skin, for example
Cellular metabolism
Zinc is essential to the cellular metabolism. It acts as a co-factor for various enzymes involved in the metabolism of glucides, lipids and proteins. It is needed for DNA synthesis and insulin regulation, for example
Zinc
Zinc plays a major role in the human body. It is a co-factor for a number of enzymes and plays a role in various biological processes, e.g. metabolism regulation, immune system function, wound healing, skin regulation and DNA synthesis
Zinc is an essential chemical element whose structure plays a fundamental role in its biological effect on the body. Due to its specific electronic configuration, with two electrons in its outer subshell, it has the ability to form chemical bonds with other molecules
Complexe LCA-BioScience®
Vit. B6
Cystéine
Vit. B2
Even if essential, an isolated nutrient cannot complete a physiological process alone. For this reason, we are strengthening all of our formulas with a specific activation complex delivering the biomolecules it needs to function effectively
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin present in three forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. It is said to be essential because the human body neither makes nor stores it. For this reason, it must be provided daily through diet. Its active form in the body is pyridoxal 5’-phosphate or PLP
Vitamin B6 works together with zinc to ensure various vital metabolic functions. This synergy helps maintain the body’s normal functioning
Cysteine
Cysteine is an amino acid and a building block of proteins. Its chemical structure consists of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH) and a thiol group (-SH) which is characteristic of cysteine. These groups allow cysteine to form disulphide bonds (-S-S-) with other cysteines, thus creating crucial disulphide bridges for the three-dimensional structure of proteins. Two bonded cysteine monomers form a cystine molecule
Cysteine plays a major role in the intestinal absorption of zinc
Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is an organic water-soluble molecule. Its chemical structure consists of an isoalloxazine ring with three interconnected sections (one pyrimidine section and two benzene sections). This isoalloxazine ring is the active part of riboflavin
The synergy between vitamin B2 and zinc is beneficial as this vitamin plays a role in the body’s absorption of zinc. It also plays a part in the overall energy metabolism, helping to support the cells and the overall proper functioning of the body
