Copper and zinc support correct functioning of the immune system and participate in protection of cells against oxidative stress. Minerals contained in the preparation participate in synthesis of elastin and collagen, and their appropriate supplementation contributes to maintenance of correct skin, hair and nails condition.
ESSENTIAL PROPORTIONS
Nutrients are often discussed in terms of their individual health benefits. But the truth is that essential vitamins and minerals actually function as integral parts of an interconnected web of relationships, working together and balancing each other's effects.
One such nutritional tandem is the relationship between copper and zinc. These two micronutrients work hand in hand on many levels. They are also antagonists, which means that if the level of one is too high, the other can become too low and vice versa.
Zinc+Copper contains a carefully selected dose of zinc and copper in a 10:1 ratio.
COPPER
Copper is an essential nutrient for the body. It plays many key roles in the body. Among other things, it contributes to maintaining normal energy metabolism and functioning of the immune system, as well as helping to maintain proper condition of connective tissues. Copper also helps to maintain normal skin pigmentation as it is essential for the synthesis of the pigment called melanin.
ZINC
It is an element which is very necessary for the proper functioning of the whole organism. Zinc is involved in the production of proteins and nucleic acids, which are mainly responsible for the transmission and storage of genetic information. Regular supplementation with zinc influences: the proper functioning of the immune system, protection of cells against oxidative stress, maintenance of healthy and strong bones, regulation of serum testosterone levels, and maintenance of normal vision.
ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY
The human body produces unstable molecules (called free radicals) in response to toxins in the environment, such as air pollution or cigarette smoke.
To protect cells from free radicals, the body produces chemical compounds called antioxidants. These compounds are also found in many food sources, such as fruits and vegetables. Both copper and zinc help to protect cells from oxidative stress.
Adequate levels of copper and zinc in the body:
- Supports immune system function
- Protects cells from oxidative stress
- Helps maintain healthy hair, skin and nails
- Participates in the synthesis of elastin and collagen
- Vegetable cellulose capsules, gentle on the stomach suitable for vegans and vegetarians
