Organic zinc & vitamin C from GSE: the ingenious duo for the immune system
Zinc is essential for our well-being. Immune system, metabolism, cognition, eyesight, fertility ... hardly any bodily function can do without this trace element. This is because zinc is involved in a large number of enzymatic reactions, for example - either as a direct component of the respective enzyme or as a "catalyst". Through its role in protein synthesis, cell protection and cell division, it also contributes to the maintenance of Skin, hair and nails nails. As the human body cannot produce zinc itself and can only store it for a short time, it must be supplied in sufficient quantities in the daily diet or through a high-quality dietary supplement. In times of stress in which Pregnancy and breastfeeding or during growth the demand increases.
GSE Zinc & Vitamin C Complex also contains vitamin C - and has thus brought its dream partner on board. This is because vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant against cell-damaging free radicals and also fulfills important tasks in the Cell protection, energy metabolism, nervous system and psyche and in the collagen formation . Because it increases the absorption of iron, this essential mineral is also more readily available to the body.
Zinc and vitamin C: where to get it - and how much?
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) gives the zinc requirement for adults as 10 mg/day. Incidentally, the actual requirement also depends on how much phytate ends up on the plate at the same time. Unfortunately, this is mainly found in Whole grains, pulses and nuts which in themselves are very good sources of zinc. The phytate content can be reduced by sourdough fermentation, soaking (pour away the water afterwards!), sprouting and other preparation methods. Valuable zinc is also found in Meat, eggs and dairy products one reason why vegetarians and vegans are at greater risk of zinc deficiency. than omnivores.
The vitamin C requirement of the body is normally met by a balanced diet with several servings of fresh fruit and vegetables per day. But hand on heart: do you always manage that? To fill any potential gaps, we have added a certain amount of vitamin C to the side of the plant-based zinc in Zinc & Vitamin C Compact.
Zinc from guava leaves
As mentioned above, the list of easily usable non-animal sources of zinc is relatively limited. However, guava leaves contain large amounts of the trace element in excellent bioavailability . GSE naturally only processes guava leaves from controlled organic cultivation.
Vitamin C from exotic fruits and rose hips
The difference from Zinc & Vitamin C Complex to commercially available food supplements: Our vitamin C does not come from synthetic ascorbic acid, but from organically grown acerola cherries, camu camu and amla as well as the "native superfood" hagbutts! Because all of these fruits have been part of the human diet since time immemorial, their ingredients are recognized by the body as good food and are therefore ideally utilized .
