Shield Zinc Supplement

Why Should I Take Zinc?

Zinc is necessary for proper immune function, wound healing, cell division, and growth acting as an antioxidant that helps protect the body, but are you getting enough? 

Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in numerous physiological processes. It is necessary for proper immune function, wound healing, cell division, and growth. It also acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.

Despite its importance, the fact is many people aren't getting enough Zinc in their diet. This can be due to a number of reasons, such as not enjoying enough zinc-rich foods, malabsorption issues, or increased Zinc requirements due to stress or illness.

That's why we offer Shield, a Zinc supplement that is designed to be easily absorbed and well-tolerated for regular use to combat such deficiencies.

The benefits of taking Zinc: 

🔸Immune System Support

One of the most well-known benefits of Zinc is its ability to support the immune system as Zinc is necessary for the development and function of immune cells, such as T-cells and B-cells, which help fight off infections and disease. It also helps to regulate the immune response, ensuring that it's not too weak or too strong. Zinc can also help to reduce the duration and severity of colds and other respiratory infections as well as reduce inflammation, a key factor in many chronic diseases. 

🔸Wound Healing 

Zinc plays a key role in the formation of new tissue and helps promote the growth of new blood vessels. Since it reduces inflammation and works to prevent against infection, Zinc can be critical for proper repair and healing. 

🔸Skin Health 

Necessary for the maintenance of healthy skin, Zinc helps to regulate oil production, which can prevent acne and other skin conditions. It also helps protect the skin from UV damage and other environmental factors that can cause damage and premature aging. 

🔸Improved Cognitive Function 

Zinc helps to regulate neurotransmitters (the chemicals that transmit signals between neurons) making it necessary for proper brain function and cognitive performance. Zinc also helps to protect the brain from oxidative stress, which can lead to cognitive decline and other neurological disorders.

🔸Hormonal Health

Zinc plays a critical role in the synthesis, release, and function of many hormones, making it an important nutrient for overall hormone health. It is necessary for testosterone production, a hormone essential for male sexual and reproductive health. Zinc deficiency has been linked to low testosterone levels, which can lead to symptoms such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased muscle mass. 

It also helps regulate estrogen metabolism in women. Zinc deficiency has been linked to an imbalance of estrogen levels, which can contribute to irregular periods, PMS, fertility problems, and other issues. 

Symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood changes are also impacted by Zinc as it is important for thyroid functionality, helping to regulate the production and conversion of thyroid hormones. 

Shield Zinc Supplement

 

The Perfect Supplement While Traveling 

Zinc is important for every day. However, when we're traveling, we may be exposed to a variety of germs and viruses that our bodies may not have encountered before, putting a strain on our immune system and making us more susceptible to illness. 

Travel can also often be a stressful experience, both physically and mentally. Stress is known to increase the body's need for nutrients, including zinc. By taking a Zinc supplement like Shield, travelers can help ensure their bodies are getting the necessary nutrients to support their overall health.

Lastly, travel and vacationing can disrupt our normal eating habits, which can make it tough to get enough nutrients from our diet alone - especially if we've already been struggling to get enough in our usual routine. As zinc-rich foods are not always readily available, particularly at airports or other transit stations, taking Shield can help to ensure the body is getting plenty of this important mineral, especially when dietary intake is limited or, perhaps, even further limited. 

Whether packed in your luggage or kept in your every day carry, make sure you're set with Shield.
