Pharmacological Effects and Mechanism of Action
Zinc is a factor in many biological processes and protein synthesis. It also plays a role in immune system function, wound healing, reproduction, growth and development, thyroid function, and insulin action. Zinc deficiency is associated with delayed growth, low insulin levels, reduced sperm count, hair loss, dry skin, and skin lesions. Zinc accelerates wound healing.
Vitamin C plays a critical role in various metabolic processes, including redox reactions, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid synthesis, and iron metabolism. It is essential for neutralizing free radicals in the skin, reducing skin damage, and aiding in wound healing. Due to its role in maintaining normal immune function, Vitamin C is commonly used to prevent common illnesses such as seasonal colds.
B vitamins are vital for overall health. These vitamins have a direct impact on energy levels, brain function, cellular metabolism, and the formation of blood cells.
Use During Pregnancy and Lactation
Not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
