Zinc + copper 90 capsules Yango Food supplement Copper and zinc support the proper functioning of the immune system and participate in the protection of cells against oxidative stress. The minerals contained in the preparation are involved in the synthesis of elastin and collagen (1), and their appropriate supplementation contributes to maintaining the proper condition of the skin, hair and nails. Required proportions Nutrients are often discussed in terms of their individual health benefits. The truth is, however, that essential vitamins and minerals actually function as integral parts of an interconnected network of relationships, working together and balancing each other. One such nutritional tandem is the relationship between copper and zinc. These two micronutrients work hand in hand on many levels. They are also antagonists, meaning that if the level of one of them is too high, the other can become too low, and vice versa (2). The preparation Cynk+Copper contains a carefully selected dose of zinc and copper in a ratio of 10:1. Copper Copper is an essential nutrient for the body. It plays many key roles in the body. It contributes, among other things, to: to maintain proper energy metabolism and the functioning of the immune system, and also helps to maintain the proper condition of connective tissues. Copper also helps maintain proper skin pigmentation, as it is needed in the synthesis of a pigment called melanin (3). Zinc This element is very necessary for the proper functioning of the whole organism. Zinc is involved in the production of proteins and nucleic acids, which are mainly responsible for the transfer and storage of genetic information. Regular zinc supplementation affects: the proper functioning of the immune system, the protection of cells against oxidative stress, the maintenance of healthy and strong bones, the regulation of serum testosterone levels and the maintenance of correct vision (4). Antioxidant effect The human body produces unstable molecules (called free radicals) in response to environmental toxins such as air pollution and cigarette smoke. To protect cells against free radicals, the body produces chemicals called antioxidants. These compounds are also found in many food sources, such as fruits and vegetables. Both copper and zinc help protect cells from oxidative stress (5). Adequate levels of copper and zinc in the body: supports the functioning of the immune system, protects cells against oxidative stress, helps maintain the healthy appearance of hair, skin and nails, participates in the synthesis of elastin and collagen, Vegetable cellulose capsules, gentle on the stomach, suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
