Description
What is XYMOGEN Zinc Glycinate?
Zinc Glycinate is a proprietary amino acid chelate that is fully reacted for enhanced absorption. As an essential trace mineral, zinc plays critical roles in the body, including catalytic, structural, and regulatory functions. It supports immune and neurological functions, growth, taste acuity, nutrient metabolism, and reproductive health.
More than 300 enzymes in the body depend on zinc for their normal activities in cellular metabolism. As a cofactor, zinc is involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism, as well as in the antioxidant activity of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD). Zinc also plays a vital role in supporting immune function by regulating T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, CD4 cells, and interleukin II.
Zinc’s crucial involvement in protein metabolism is reflected in its importance for wound healing, DNA synthesis, normal inflammatory responses, and growth and development during childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy. It helps maintain the structural integrity of cell membranes, ensuring their normal function while also protecting them from oxidative damage. Research has shown that zinc supplementation in individuals of various ages can reduce oxidative stress markers, support a normal inflammatory response, and help balance TH1 and TH2 immune cell activity. Additionally, skin and mucous membranes rely on zinc for maintenance and integrity.
Zinc is highly concentrated in the liver, pancreas, kidneys, bones, muscles, eyes, prostate gland, sperm, skin, hair, and nails. It is necessary for sperm maturation and fetal development.
The endocrine system depends on adequate zinc levels to regulate insulin activity and to facilitate the conversion of thyroxine (T4) into the active thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3). Zinc’s regulatory functions extend to gene expression, cell signaling, nerve impulse transmission, and the process of normal apoptosis. Since the body lacks a specialized storage system for zinc, daily intake and absorption are essential.

Zinc’s pivotal role in protein metabolism translates into a pivotal role in wound healing, DNA synthesis, normal inflammatory response, and normal growth and development during childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy. Zinc helps maintain the structural integrity of cell membranes; it assists them in their normal function and protects them from oxidative damage. Research in human subjects of various ages suggests that zinc supplementation decreases oxidative stress markers, supports a normal response to inflammation, and appears to be a factor in balancing TH1 and TH2 immune cell activity. Skin and mucous membranes also depend on zinc for their maintenance and integrity.

The endocrine system relies on adequate zinc status to assist in the regulation of insulin activity and the conversion of thyroxine (T4) to the active thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3). Zinc’s regulatory role extends to gene expression, cell signaling, and nerve impulse transmission, as well as normal apoptosis. The body has no specialized system for storing zinc, so daily intake and absorption is essential.
