Zinc (Glycinate)
Zinc Benefits at a Glance:
- Plays a key role in thyroid hormone production, energy, and metabolism
- Vital for sex hormone production and regulation
- Optimizes immune function and reduces long-term inflammation
- A key nutrient for skin health
Zinc plays a vital role in hormone balance and immune system support. A crucial nutrient for women’s hormonal health, zinc produces and regulates the thyroid hormones, testosterone, and estrogen — which all contribute to fertility, a regular menstrual cycle, and ovarian health.
The body requires zinc to convert the thyroid hormone T4 to its active form, T3, which is needed for metabolism and energy production. By optimizing thyroid health, zinc supports progesterone production and the entire female endocrine system.
Zinc also helps produce white blood cells, so it’s one of the most critical nutrients for immune function. By supporting immunity, zinc can help reduce ongoing inflammation, which contributes to many health symptoms and conditions, including hormonal imbalances.
Zinc glycinate is the easiest form of zinc for the body to absorb.
