Elemental Zinc & Copper, 60 ml

Elemental Zinc & Copper is based on concentrated mineral drops

"concentrated mineral drops" or CMD, a special seawater concentrate from the Great Salt Lake (Utah, USA). It offers the full spectrum of minerals and trace elements (almost completely free of sodium and also contains zinc in the form of zinc sulphate and copper as copper gluconate). This product is created through a traditional and natural concentration process using solar energy.

The trace elements and minerals in the product Elemental Zinc & Copper are contained as electrolytes in dissolved and ionic form. This means that they do not occur together with other elements, but as individual electrically charged particles. When magnesium chloride (MgCl2) dissolves in water, for example, it splits into the ions Mg2+ (positively charged magnesium) and Cl- (negatively charged chloride). Minerals are also found in our body, dissolved in intracellular and extracellular fluids such as blood plasma. Minerals that are present in ionic form are therefore easy to absorb.

Zinc and copper and their effects on health

Zinc is present in all body tissues and is found in particular in the cell nuclei. The mineral is essential for the function of over 300 enzymes, the metallo-enzymes, which use a zinc ion as a cofactor. It is also an essential component of cell membranes and proteins. In this way, zinc is involved in numerous processes in the organism, such as the cell division process and hormone balance. Zinc also plays a role in the normal synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and DNA. Zinc has a positive effect on the immune system by supporting T-cell production, promoting cytokine production and contributing to the function of natural killer cells. Zinc also helps protect cells from oxidative damage, including through its role in the antioxidant enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD). In addition, it promotes a healthy acid-base balance. Zinc acts as a cofactor for the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which catalyses the conversion of carbon dioxide into bicarbonate (and vice versa). Bicarbonate is one of the most important buffers used to keep the acidity of the blood and other extracellular fluids as constant as possible. Copper is contained in various enzymes and contributes to the activity of certain enzymes involved in the production of energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Copper is also involved in the production of collagen and elastin, the components of connective tissue. It therefore contributes to healthy connective tissue in blood vessels, skin and cartilage.

Zinc and copper have an antagonistic relationship. If zinc consumption is 50 mg per day or more over a longer period of time (more than one month), this can lead to a decrease in copper levels. Zinc and copper are combined in this product.
