Lozenges with zinc

Even 5 thousand years ago, the Egyptians used zinc ointment to heal wounds and treat skin diseases. Zinc tablets are a complex product containing vitamin C. Licorice root, included in the composition, soothes coughs, echinacea enhances the anti-inflammatory effect.

Zinc is part of more than 300 enzymes and is directly responsible for the synthesis of collagen and proteins, which accelerates wound healing. Zinc is necessary for the formation of joints and connective tissue. Zinc-containing enzymes play an important role in the synthesis of RNA and DNA, so zinc deficiency leads to slower cell growth and division. Zinc is one of the main antioxidant enzymes and is part of the superoxide dismutase enzyme. Zinc is also part of insulin. It is essential for bone formation and increases sensitivity to taste and smell. With a zinc deficiency, it is impossible to form a strong immune system. People with zinc deficiency often suffer from frequent and long-lasting infectious diseases. Zinc is necessary for the normal activity of lymphoid tissue, which plays an important immunogenic role. Zinc has the ability to protect the liver from toxins. Zinc is known to play an important role in the development of male reproductive cells (sperm) (spermatogenesis) and in the process of puberty; Zinc deficiency leads to benign prostatic hyperplasia. With zinc deficiency, visual acuity decreases, anemia and weight loss develop, allergic dermatitis and baldness occur.

In this case, the interaction of zinc with other biological elements is very important. A certain ratio (10:1) of zinc and copper is necessary to ensure the normal functioning of organs and systems. Decreased zinc levels in the body cause diarrhea, kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, diabetes, and may increase zinc excretion in feces due to excessive fiber intake. Natural sources of zinc: brewer’s yeast, red algae, egg yolk, fish, beans, kidney beans, liver, meat, mushrooms, seafood (oysters, shrimp). A lot of zinc is found in plants such as clover, burdock, pepper, thistle, mullein, nettle, parsley, wild yam, and rose hips.

Vitamin C is an important water-soluble antioxidant that fights infection by destroying bacteria and viruses, and also activates the production of lysozyme and interferon. Vitamin C in combination with bioflavonoids ensures the structural integrity of capillary walls and connective tissue structure.
Glycine: An amino acid found in large quantities in cells of the brain and spinal cord. It is a neurotransmitter (communicator) and has a sedative effect. Regulates metabolic processes in brain tissue, reduces cravings for alcohol. It has a positive effect on muscular dystrophies (muscle weakness), reduces nervousness and regulates sleep.

Slippery elm (red) (Ulmus Rubra) – has a strong anti-inflammatory, wound-healing effect. Used for renal and hepatic colic, joint pain, inflammation.

Arabinogalactan: A water-soluble plant polysaccharide widely found in plants, fungi and bacteria. This substance supports the immune system by stimulating the activity of natural killer cells and macrophages.

Guar gum (Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba): is a water-soluble and starch-free polysaccharide (galactomannan). It reduces the absorption of sugar and cholesterol in the intestines and lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Used in the treatment and prevention of diabetes and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Echinacea purpurea: Caffeic acid glycoside, found in the root of the plant, increases the body’s resistance to infectious and viral infections and speeds up healing. Another component, echinacin, has a similar effect to cortisone, accelerating wound healing. Increases the number of leukocytes and activates macrophages, granulocytes and T-lymphocytes. Some plant polysaccharides cause increased interferon production. Echinacea increases the activity of macrophages, which can prevent the onset of disease or relieve symptoms. Echinacea has fungicidal, antiviral and antiallergic effects against bacteria. Effective for inflammatory diseases (rheumatism, polyarthritis, prostatitis, gynecological diseases), diseases of the upper respiratory tract, various wound processes (trophic ulcers, osteomyelitis), microbial eczema.

Licorice root (Glycurriza glabra) has a tonic, expectorant and mild laxative effect. Saponins stimulate secretion, reduce density and remove pulmonary and bronchial mucus. Therefore, licorice root is included in expectorant syrups for lung diseases accompanied by cough. Anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects associated with the action of bioflavonoids.
