Zinc can help you get deeper sleep. Why? Watch to find out.
Zinc is a powerful trace mineral. Trace minerals are nutrients you need in small amounts. One of the many benefits is it can help you get deeper sleep. Zinc is a cofactor. A cofactor is something that helps in the activation of enzymes, which are proteins. These protein machines help build tissue, detoxify the body, and many other things. Overall, zinc is involved in 300 different enzymes.
Zinc is also involved in over 1000 transcription factors. A transcription factor is something that will turn certain genes on and off at the right time. This is at a cellular DNA level.
If you have a zinc deficiency, you can experience: • Decreased growth • Hypogonadism • Reduced taste and smell • Poor immune function.
