Zinc and Natural Skin Care Treatment

For nearly a century zinc ointments have been a common natural skin care treatment for dry skin, acne, dermatitis, rashes, cuts, eczema, and just about every other skin problem. However, the newer products on the market contain so many harmful chemicals that they are no longer safe alternatives. Thousands of doctors now recommend adding shielding lotion to your natural skin care arsenal for prevention and treatment of many of the above problems.

How does zinc work? Its most important role is to stimulate the activity of enzymes. Enzymes consist of proteins, vitamins and other nutrients and are responsible for regulating the millions of complex processes that occur every minute within the body. There are thousands of enzymes in every cell, and without them, many of the processes we take for granted could not be performed. Eating, digesting, seeing, speaking and even breathing would become impossible.

Zinc accelerates the function of about 100 of those enzymes

#1 Zinc deficiency

Submitted by Anonymous on April 8, 2009 - 7:58pm.

There is also a link between soy (and many other cereal and grain) consumption and decreased zinc absorption due to plant phytates. I am a vegan and have had to alter my eating habits to accommodate this problem. Please address this and how to avoid deficiency as well.
