Most of us have heard we need more vitamin D, but are you aware most of us are deficient in Zinc? Why does it matter? Well, Zinc is an essential mineral for everyone....

The foods available to us don’t contain enough zinc anymore to provide all the zinc we need. Even the best organic farms tend to be missing zinc from their soil, in part due to the elevated levels of toxic heavy metals that fall from the sky which alter the pH balance of the soil.

There are some foods that are especially high in zinc and are very helpful to have in your diet regularly, including sprouts, microgreens, collard greens, pumpkin seeds, radishes, artichokes, nettle leaf, parsley, onions, and raw honey. However, it is also important to consider supplementing with the right kind of zinc: liquid zinc sulfate.

Zinc helps you maintain a healthy immune system

If you’re dealing with a symptom or condition, then supplementing with high-quality, liquid zinc sulfate will offer you an important immune boost.

What are some of the other benefits of Zinc?

Virus Killer

Zinc kills viral cells and lowers inflammatory reactions to neurotoxins produced by viruses in the herpes family, including EBV, shingles, and more.

Liver Support

Without zinc, your liver can’t perform its functions that protect your whole body, so despite its zinc storage, your liver always needs more, because the zinc output needed to respond to the mental and physical demands upon us is high. The onslaught of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens in particular drains our zinc reserves.

One specific purpose of zinc reserves is to eliminate toxic forms of copper that are always high inside the liver and that can cause the organ harm. If someone is so zinc-deficient that even the liver’s zinc reserves have dropped to a dangerous level, that person can develop a host of viral related autoimmune diseases and illnesses.

Zinc keeps your digestion running smoothly.

Zinc works with proteins in every organ and helps nearly 100 different enzymes with different processes, one of which is digestion. Your body simply can’t digest food and absorb nutrients properly without it.

Zinc helps you taste your food.

Zinc is crucial to fully functioning taste perception, so if you start realizing you're not tasting or smelling things as vividly as you used to, it may be because you have low zinc levels.

Zinc keeps your metabolism going strong.
