Zinc is essential for our well-being. Immune system, metabolism, cognition, eyesight, fertility... hardly any bodily function can function without this trace element. This is because zinc is involved in a variety of enzymatic reactions - either as a direct component of the respective enzyme or as a "catalyst". Through its role in protein synthesis, cell protection and cell division, it also contributes to the normal maintenance of skin, hair and nails. Because the human body cannot produce zinc itself and can only store it for a short time, it must be supplied in sufficient quantities through the daily diet or through a high-quality dietary supplement. The need increases in times of stress, during pregnancy and breastfeeding or during growth.
GSE Zinc & Vitamin C Complex also contains vitamin C - and has thus brought its dream partner on board. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant against cell-damaging free radicals and also fulfils important functions in cell protection, energy metabolism, the nervous system and psyche, as well as in collagen formation. Because it increases iron absorption, this essential mineral is also better available to the body.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) states that adults need 10 mg of zinc per day. In Switzerland, the recommendation is a maximum of 5.3 mg per day. The actual requirement also depends on how much phytate ends up on the plate at the same time. Unfortunately, this is mainly found in whole grains, pulses and nuts, which are very good sources of zinc. The phytate content can be reduced by sourdough fermentation, soaking (throw away the water afterwards!), sprouting and other preparation methods. Easily digestible zinc is also found in meat, eggs and dairy products - one reason why vegetarians and vegans have a greater risk of zinc deficiency than omnivores.
The body's vitamin C requirements are normally covered by a balanced diet with several portions of fresh fruit and vegetables per day. But hand on heart: do you always manage that? To fill potential gaps, we have added a certain amount of vitamin C to the plant-based zinc in Zinc & Vitamin C Compact.
As already mentioned, the list of readily usable non-animal sources of zinc is relatively limited. However, guava leaves contain large amounts of the trace element with excellent bioavailability. GSE naturally only processes guava leaves from controlled organic cultivation.
The difference between Zinc & Vitamin C Complex and commercially available food supplements: Our vitamin C does not come from synthetic ascorbic acid, but from organically grown acerola cherries, camu camu and amla as well as the "local superfood" rose hips! Because all of these fruits have been on the human diet since time immemorial, their ingredients are recognized by the body as good food and are therefore ideally utilized.
