Minor or moderate amounts of supplemental zinc can be beneficial to wound healing, immune health and heart health, but according to research published in the September 1984 issue of “The Journal of the American Medical Association,” excessive doses appear to hinder all three.

Learn More »The old saying “a penny for your thoughts” may actually have some scientific merit to it. Modern pennies are made out of 97.5 percent zinc with only 2.5 percent copper composing their coating. While a penny is not an ideal source of nutrition, an article published in 2012 in the journal “Biofactors” notes that zinc is food for thought as it is involved in brain development, mood states and the prevention of certain neurodegenerative brain disorders. Zinc deficiency has also been linked to malfunctions in healing, reproduction and immunity. Most of these health issues can be resolved with zinc-rich diets or supplements; however, the evidence that zinc supplementation can improve the health of non-deficient people is not nearly as promising. Zinc lozenges and zinc nasal sprays have been heavily featured in health food stores and drugstores since the mid-1990s. These products claim to shorten the duration of the common cold and relieve congestion. A review study published in the September 2004 issue of the “Journal of the American Pharmacists Association” concluded that certain zinc supplements and zinc nasal sprays taken within the first 24 hours of the onset of cold symptoms could significantly reduce the duration and severity of a cold. In another study published in March of 2007 in “The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,” researchers found that elderly subjects taking 45 milligrams of zinc gluconate per day had significantly fewer general infections and lower inflammatory markers in their blood compared to those taking a placebo. A key ingredient in many diaper rash formulations and sunscreens, topical zinc has skin-protective benefits, but it also can help with wound healing, since it is involved in both DNA synthesis and collagen synthesis. Collagen is one of the primary proteins that form the skin and connective tissues. According to a November 2003 article in the “Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing,” zinc supplementation helped with the healing of some types of ulcers in zinc-deficient subjects, but the results were mixed in those people who already had normal zinc levels. The article also stated that zinc plays a role in the final stages of healing by helping with tissue repair and regeneration. Research published in the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” in June 2009 states that 45 milligrams of zinc gluconate per day can provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and can protect the heart from damage in elderly subjects. Further information from the “Journal of the American Dietetic Association” in March of 2000 mentions that zinc supplements have also proved to be beneficial for infectious and chronic diseases such as malaria and HIV, while an article from the February 2012 issue of “Nutrition in Clinical Practice” suggests that taking zinc with meals can improve the liver function in people with alcoholic liver disease and hepatitis C.

Read More »How can I naturally rebuild collagen? You can naturally support the collagen production process by using topicals such as vitamin C and retinol, collagen peptide supplements, eating a nutrient rich diet, and avoiding habits that damage the collagen (such as poor sleep and sun exposure.)
Here's the good part: Your body makes its own supply of collagen via fibroblasts2 (assuming the amino acid building blocks are present from your diet). Essentially, these cells take amino acids (the constituents of protein) that we ingest and then turns them into protein. The bad part is that this process slows over time. "Our bodies always balance collagen production and degradation," says board-certified dermatologist Gary Goldenberg, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York about collagen decline. "When we are young, our bodies produce more collagen than we break down. That balance tips the wrong way with age since tissue regeneration decreases." Collagen production peaks in your 20s, but at some point in that precious decade, the decline begins. The exact point is different for everyone, but typically mid- to late 20s is a good bet. After that, your collagen declines at a steady rate of 1% per year3 , every year. For those who go through menopause, collagen takes another drop during that time: They experience a 30% drop in collagen4 during that time frame, and then that stabilizes to an about 2% decline every year thereafter. Collagen levels can also take a hit from natural lifestyle factors like UV exposure, stressors, and diet.
