Zinc is an essential element in human and animal nutrition with a wide range of biological roles. Zinc plays catalytic, structural or regulatory roles in the more than 200 zinc metalloenzymes that have been identified in biological systems. These enzymes are involved in nucleic acid and protein metabolism and the production of energy, among other things. Zinc plays a structural role in the formation of the so-called zinc fingers. Zinc fingers are exploited by transcription factors for interacting with DNA and regulating the activity of genes. Another structural role of zinc is in the maintenance of the integrity of biological membranes resulting in their protection against oxidative injury.
Liquid zinc sulfate was first developed by Dr Bryce Smith for the treatment of anorexia, a condition whereby the ‘zinc blockade’ exists causing a defect in the mucosal absorption mechanisms dependent on zinc. T J Clark’s catalysed zinc is the most advanced zinc supplement, providing zinc sulfate in a colloidal form with the addition of a mineral catalyst. Our catalyzed zinc is recognised as the most reliable form of zinc to replenish zinc levels, regardless of an individual’s mucosal absorption ability. T J Clark’s catalyzed zinc is flavoured for optimal patient compliance and is the only liquid zinc supplement available through health stores.
