After its GH boosters properties, new good news about Zinc
Zinc - antioxidant potential probed
31/10/2002
The essential mineral zinc may help protect cells against oxidative damage, according to results from a preliminary study.
Scientists from the Agricultural Research Service, the scientific research agency of the US Department of Agriculture, along with colleagues from the University of California, Berkeley claim to have pinpointed the mineral's little-known role as an antioxidant.
The researchers maintain that zinc may safeguard red blood cell membranes against oxidative effects of other minerals such as copper or iron. Cell membranes keep cell contents in place and selectively allow salts and other compounds to flow in and out.
The findings suggest that cell membrane health may be an early, accurate indicator of an individual's zinc needs. The study also confirms the importance of consistently consuming enough zinc from such foods as beans, wholegrains, shellfish, red meat or dark-meat poultry.
