ZINC FIX

Why You Need Zinc
 Zinc is one of your body’s most important minerals. Found in almost every one of your cells, it is necessary for the proper function of hundreds of enzymes and plays a role in most things. From helping you to get over colds and flu, to keeping your hair, skin and nails bright and healthy. It also assists in the absorption of other minerals and is highly beneficial.

Zinc Deficiency (lack of zinc) is a very common problem amongst people of all ages, especially the elderly.1,2,3,4 With an estimated 85% of women and 57% of men not receiving their recommended Daily Allowance of Zinc5, it is therefore not surprising that many people suffer from Zinc Deficiency. By regularly testing your Zinc status and taking the necessary supplements you can determine if your Zinc levels are being maintained at their optimum.

Choosing the Right Zinc Supplement
There are many Zinc supplements available on the market, but choosing the right one is often not as easy as it sounds. An unusual characteristic of Zinc is that when in tablet form, it cannot be easily absorbed if your Zinc levels are too low. It is therefore critical that you test your Zinc levels before you choose a Zinc supplement and, in cases of low Zinc, use a liquid Zinc formula such as Zinc Fix.

ZINC TEST

Research has shown a link between Zinc and taste. Zinc Test uses a specially prepared solution of liquid Zinc as a “taste test” to determine your Zinc level. By taking 10 ml of Zinc Test in your mouth and holding it there for 10 seconds, you’ll get a taste response that will indicate your Zinc status.

The Health Mineral
The importance of Zinc in maintaining your health cannot be overstated. Zinc is critical for a large number of enzymatic reactions and plays a role in most things from your immune system to the absorption of minerals. By testing your Zinc levels regularly with Zinc Test and supplementing with either Zinc Fix or Zinc Maintain you’ll help to reduce the incidence of Zinc Deficiency.

PROBIOTICS

The most common and significant cause of disturbances in the normal gastrointestinal flora is the use of antibiotics. Antibiotic therapy has been associated with conditions such as diarrhoea and nausea, which can be primarily be due to changes in normal microflora.

Research has indicated that in some cases antibiotic therapy may have an immunosuppressive effect sufficient to promote abnormal bad bacteria levels. Lactobacilli, by contrast, have demonstrated significant immune-enhancing effects by stimulating natural killer cell activity. This is an important feature for effective antibiotic therapy especially in individuals with compromised immune systems, as well as newborn children and the elderly.

Inner Health Plus may provide therapeutic benefits throughout the intestinal tract and may significantly reduce the clinical complications of antibiotic therapy.
 


 

Do You Get Cold Sores?

Cold sores are small blisters or sores that are usually found on the lips or skin around the mouth, nose and chin. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and are extremely common. People are usually infected with this virus in childhood or young adulthood and unfortunately the infection does persist on and off for life.

Triggers of Cold Sores
In some people their cold sore is brought on by a trigger, such as a cold. This explains the term ‘cold sore’. Other triggers include:

  • Sunlight
  • Exposure to windy conditions
  • Hormonal changes
  • Emotional or physical stress
  • Foods high in arginine (e.g. chocolate, peanuts)

Cold Sore Symptoms

  • Localised tingling or itching a day or two before blisters appear
  • Pain, tenderness and burning heat sensation
  • A cluster of small blisters

How to Avoid Spreading the Cold Sore
Cold Sores are contagious and can be transmitted to others as well as other parts of your body usually through contact with saliva or direct contact. It is the fluid within the blisters that is considered infectious. People with cold sores should:

  • Wash their hands after touching the cold sore
  • Avoid touching their own eyes after touching the cold sore
  • Avoid sharing toothbrushes, drinking glasses or bottles, cutlery and other personal items
  • Avoid close contact with newborns and young babies
  • Avoid kissing others

Treating Cold Sores
Ethical Nutrients Lysine Viral Cold Sore Defence may help reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks of cold sores. Lysine is an amino acid that has been shown to help in reducing the frequency and severity of cold sores.
