Zinc Gluconate - 500g Pure Powder

Zinc supplements are traditionally used as a treatment for zinc deficiency and also to keep subjects on a path towards normal growth if there are any hormone imbalances preventing someone from developing properly. Those that have below average levels of zinc will have negative symptoms such as poor night vision, slower healing after sustaining wounds, a reduction in the senses of both smell and taste, and a lack of development in the reproductive organs (if the person is younger or still developing). Reduction of zinc levels in children can stunt growth, cause greater receptiveness to infection and disease, and inhibit sexual growth. There are around 800,000 deaths per year reported where zinc deficiency was either a direct or indirect cause.In fact, zinc deficiency is credited with being the fifth highest risk factor id disease development. This is how important zinc is to the immune system. Some countries have an at risk population of over 70% and even estimates on the lower end report that a quarter of the entire world's population may be at risk of developing zinc deficiency.Health Benefits Provided by Zinc GluconateZinc itself is an antioxidant and can protect healthy cells in the body from sustaining damage due to free radicals.
