Zinc is involved in well over one hundred metabolic process and body functions, affecting virtually all aspects of your immune system. And it functions as an antioxidant.

WAM Essentials Zinc Citrate has the benefits of better absorption, greater tolerance and enhanced physiological benefits.

Zinc is Essential For:

  • immune system support (fights colds & infections)
  • wound healing
  • antioxidant
  • normal growth & development,
  • sexual maturation & reproduction
  • proper formation and maturation of spermatozoa
  • dark vision adaptation
  • olfactory and gustatory activity
  • insulin storage & release
  • various metabolic processes
  • the newborn when breast milk is the only source of Zinc
  • treating fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis

WAM Essentials Zinc Citrate represents a totally reacted and nutritionally functional Chelate of Zinc and the naturally occurring citrate in the human body. It's a bioavailable, energy rich, tolerant and safe form.

Effects of Zinc Deficiency

Even borderline zinc deficiency can have profound adverse health effects. Those at greatest risk of such deficiencies include infants, children, the elderly and pregnant women. Due to conditions that can limit the bioavailability of zinc, even when there is adequate zinc intake, zinc deficiency may affect still larger population.

Signs of Zinc Deficiency

growth retardation alopecia
immune dysfunction, delayed wound healing mental lethargy
increased incidence of infectionsskin changes (lesions, rashes & acne)
hypogonadismalcoholism
oligospermiamalabsorption syndromes
anorexiaacrodermatitis enteropathica
weight loss, diarrheahair loss
neural tube defects of the fetus prostate swelling
increased risk for miscarriage white spots on the nails

Eyesight, taste, smell and memory are also connected with zinc.

Obtaining sufficient zinc intake during pregnancy and in young children is a very real problem, especially among those who cannot afford a good and varied diet. While still in the womb and in youth, brain development is stunted by zinc insufficiency.


Zinc as a Multifaceted Micro Mineral

Dr. Wong about his
WAM Essentials, Zinc Citrate:

"This warrants repeating:
Zinc is the most essential mineral for sexual function' and Zinc Citrate is the best absorbed zinc!
Why? Because most zinc supplements are very, very poorly absorbed. The oxides are mostly excreted. Those Zincs that are chelated to amino acids need to further bond to a lipid (fat) to be transported across the intestinal wall. Zincs that are chelated to sugars (gluconates) don’t get in well either. But, anything bonded to anything in the vitamin C family such as citric acid, vitamin C, ascorbates, etc. are taken in instantly and almost completely!
That is why, despite all the sales hype to the contrary, calcium citrate, magnesium citrate and zinc citrate are the best absorbed minerals of their kind."

Zinc is an essential mineral, necessary for sustaining all life. It is estimated that 3,000 of the hundreds of thousands of proteins in the human body contain zinc. Zinc ions are now considered neurotransmitters. Cells in the salivary gland, prostate, immune system and intestine are other types of tissues that highly need zinc.

Zinc is a component in over 200 enzymes and is involved in more enzymatic reactions than any other mineral. It is essential to many hormones such as thymic hormones, insulin growth and sex hormones

Zinc is essential in human and animal nutrition with a wide range of biological roles. Zinc plays catalytic, structural and regulatory roles in more than 200 zinc metalloenzymes that have been identified in biological systems. These enzymes are involved in nucleic acid and protein metabolism and the production of energy among other things.

Zinc plays structural roles in so called Zinc fingers. Zinc fingers are exploited by transcription factors for interacting with DNA and regulating the activity of genes. Another structural role of zinc is in the maintenance of the integrity of biological membranes resulting in their protection against oxidative injury, among other things.
