    The Many Powerful Benefits of Zinc IV Therapy

    The Many Powerful Benefits of Zinc IV Therapy

    Key Points

    Zinc is a mineral that’s important to many of the body’s functions. It’s found in trace amounts in almost every human cell, but the body doesn’t produce or store it. So zinc levels have to be replenished from sources outside of the body, usually diets rich in zinc.

    This article explains the many benefits of zinc. It also discusses various conditions that may result from a deficiency of the mineral and why IV therapy is one of the best ways to supplement the body’s supply of zinc.

    The Benefits of Zinc

    Zinc is involved in the production of hormones and the healing of injuries. It improves immunity and aids digestion. There’s evidence that it has cancer-fighting properties and helps to maintain skin health. Some of these benefits are discussed below:

    Improves Skin Condition

    Zinc is effective against acne, a condition that results from the blockage of oil-producing glands. It’s also known to be a potent anti-dandruff agent. Over the years, it’s been successfully used to treat skin infections and pigment disorders.

    Reverses Inflammation

    Compounds known as free radicals are responsible for triggering oxidative stress in body cells. This process often leads to cell damage and inflammation. When this happens on a large enough scale, whole organs are affected.

    Zinc is a proven remedy against oxidative stress and inflammation as a review of recent research around this topic shows.  This is especially significant for the elderly, in whom oxidative stress and the resulting conditions are more prevalent.

    Boosts Immunity

    Zinc is essential for the proper function of the immune system. It improves the immune response in both young people and older adults, significantly reducing infection risk.

    For example, research has repeatedly demonstrated the effectiveness of zinc against the common cold. One paper shows that it can reduce the duration and severity of the condition. Zinc supplementation may also reduce the number of days that a person suffers from acute respiratory tract infections, as it did in a study of Thai children.

    Aids Healing of Wounds

    Zinc is commonly used in the treatment of wounds, including certain kinds of ulcers, burns, and skin injuries. The science behind this is that zinc is involved in the synthesis of collagen, a protein that provides structure to body tissue.

    A paper that refers to previous research points out the wound healing process that zinc triggers, including starting cell proliferation within 18-24 hours after being introduced into the body.

    Prevents Cancer

    Oxidative stress has been identified as a precursor to the development of several cancers. Because zinc acts against the effects of this process, it’s thought to prevent the emergence of cancer. It is even known to cause the programmed death of cancer cells.

    Symptoms of Zinc Deficiency

    Zinc deficiency leads to a host of conditions, including chronic fatigue, poor concentration and memory, and nerve dysfunction. It could also cause weight loss, hair loss, and changes in the senses of taste and smell.

    Women with reduced zinc levels could have worsened menopause symptoms. Changes in appetite, digestive problems, and a declining ability to heal wounds are other signs of zinc deficiency.

    Receiving Zinc Through IV Therapy

    There are many ways to get zinc into your body system. Dietary intakes are a common way, as are oral supplements. The downside with these means is that not all of the zinc gets to the parts of the body that need it. Some of it is lost as it goes through the digestive tract.

    By contrast, intravenous administration of zinc ensures that the mineral goes directly to the cells and organs that require it. IV therapies bypass the digestive system, meaning that 100% of the zinc supplement reaches its target.

    Final Words

    Zinc is a crucial trace element for human health. Because it’s vital to many of the body’s functions, it needs to be replenished over time. Failure to make up for lost zinc typically leads to a host of health challenges.

    Persons seeking to up their zinc levels can do so via IV therapy, as it’s the most effective way to receive the mineral.
