WHAT IS ZINC GOOD FOR? by Heather L. Parisi (Pekin, IN USA)  5 Stars
November 14, 2005
WHAT'S IT GOOD FOR?
According to "HEALTHNOTES" Zinc is beneficial for the following conditions in descending alphabetical order;
Acne, Acrodermatitis enteropathica, Childhood intelligence (for deficiency), Common cold/sore throat (as lozenges), Down's syndrome, Infertility (male), Night blindness (for deficiency), Wilson's disease, Wound healing (oral and topical),
Anemia (for thalassemia if deficient), Anorexia nervosa, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, Birth defects prevention, Canker sores (for deficiency only), Celiac disease (for deficiency), Cold sores (topical), Common cold (as nasal spray), Crohn's disease
Diabetes (preferably for those with a documented deficiency), Genital herpes, Gingivitis, Halitosis (zinc chloride rinse or toothpaste), Hepatitis C (zinc-L-carnosine), HIV support, Immune function, Infection, Liver cirrhosis, Macular degeneration, Peptic ulcer, Pregnancy support, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sickle cell anemia, Skin ulcers, Sprains and strains (if deficient), Tinnitus (for deficiency only), Warts,
Amenorrhea, Athletic performance, Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Contact dermatitis, Cystic fibrosis, Dermatitis herpetiformis (for deficiency), Diarrhea, Ear infections (recurrent), Gastritis, Gestational hypertension, Goiter, Hypoglycemia, Hypothyroidism,

WHY THIS ZINC?
This is the right Zinc [Picolinate] if you have trouble absorbing enough of it through other means of ingestion or forms of zinc. Being in capsules elininates the need for binders so this is a really good way to get zinc in the ideal and most bio-available picolinate form which is so useful if you have an Inflamatory Bowel Disease or malabsorption problems.
50 mg. per capsule is the ideal dose for most men though a bit heavy for women. Most vendors only carry the smaller of the two bottle sizes [60 or 120 capsules] but "AMAZON" carries both, so we save a little by getting the larger bottle. "NOW" is an excellent brand with a track record of stellar quality control.

Magnesium and calcium are fundamental nutrients that need to be in balance with each other in order for you to fully experience good health. Their importance on a cellular level is critical. Calcium and magnesium are like opposite sides of a coin. Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. Calcium is needed for blood clotting, but magnesium keeps the blood flowing freely.
