Benefits you derive from Zinc

Are you hearing more coughs and sneezes now than
you did during the dead of winter? I’m not surprised,
given that the change of season can up your chances
of catching a cold.
When I feel the sniffles coming on, I load up on zinc.
It’s been shown to help to shorten the length of a
cold when taken at high doses within 24 hours of
exposure to a cold.
This is yet another example of how everything you do
for your bones is good for your body, as zinc is one of
the key minerals for bone health.
The latest research about zinc
Researchers are constantly adding to the knowledge
about the bone benefits of zinc. Most recently, a
study in Iran showed that postmenopausal women
with osteopenia or osteoporosis had significantly
lower than normal levels of dietary intake of zinc as
well as calcium and magnesium. On the basis of their
results and previously published studies, the
researchers suggest “mineral supplementation
especially with calcium, magnesium, zinc and perhaps
copper may have beneficial effect on bone density in
post-menopausal women with low bone density.”
