Hi there, Eric Bakker.
I got lots of questions.
I've always got from subscribers and different people, preferably subscribers.
Is zinc carnosine good for stomach issues?
Zinc's a very important mineral for people to have in their diet all the time, especially
for males, but for anyone who's alive.
If you've got a pulse, or a heartbeat then you probably zinc in high amounts.
It's incredible how many people I've seen over the years in my clinic with zinc deficiency.
You can do a zinc taste test if you go to your health food store and ask for a small
bottle of Zinc Tally or zinc taste test, and just read the instructions on the bottle to
test yourself for zinc.
Zinc's very important.
You can't make stomach acid without zinc, so you need zinc, B1, and B6, I believe.
Those are the three core elements you need to make stomach acid.
The stomach can produce proper acid with zinc and zinc can't be absorbed without ... with
stomach acid, so it's quite a vicious cycle.
With a good acidification of that stomach, and if you can't remember I've mentioned this
in other videos, you can't convert enzymes from the pancreas to their active form, so
when zinc is in good amount, and the Ph of the stomach is nice and low, it will stimulate
also the pancreas to create this stuff called picolinic acid.
Picolinic acid is very important because it's one of the main binding mechanisms for trace
elements to get into the body, so we're talking [lypromenia], [rilipdidin], vanadium, selenium.
Many of these trace elements will not sufficiently be bound.
Well, they can't be bound if they're not bound in picolinic acid you can't really get them
in.
What I'm saying is, zinc's one of the main mechanism to allow this to occur.
Zinc really overrides in terms of its deficiency and capacity most other micronutrients, or
trace elements, so it's one of the key ones you've got to get right.
But, the question is zinc carnosine.
Well, zinc carnosine is basically zinc bound to carnitine.
And again, which is a composite of a few different elements.
But, studies have definitely shown that zinc carnosine is particularly good for stomach
acid.
I just read an interesting study from not that many years ago where they give people
a drink, something to stop the mucosa from getting irritated from hyperacidity.
They also gave people zinc carnosine, around 100 milligrams per day to see which one had
the better effect.
After several weeks, there was no doubt that zinc carnosine had a significantly more protective
effect on the gut, and improved the person's well being overtaking this mucous layer of
drink that the person was having.
Most people who take PPI drugs, proton pump inhibitor drugs, will really benefit from
zinc carnosine.
Zinc carnosine has even been used in high dose, short term for Helicobacter pylori patients.
But in my opinion, zinc picolinate is also just as good.
One of my favorite companies, Spawn Research, I started to use their zinc picolinate many,
many, many years ago, 20 something years ago, and I found it to be fantastic in clinic.
Males lose more zinc with one emission of ejaculation than a woman will lose in literally
30 days.
The reason being is that seminal fluid contains reasonably high amounts of zinc to buffer
that solution, which would aid in fertility.
Men definitely have lower levels of zinc than women.
If you look at oysters, were always consider to be the main aphrodisiac for guys, and oysters
are also nature's highest zinc containing food, so males really could do with zinc.
I started to take a lot of zinc years ago, not that I was deficient in it, but to experiment
what would happen.
I found my sense of smell really increased, and my taste increased.
I want to urge everyone who is watching this video is to do a zinc taste test to make sure
that you've got good zinc levels because zinc's critical also for RNA and DNA transcription,
so if you want to prevent a lot of nasty diseases you need to have good cellular reproduction,
and zinc will prohibit a wonky or dodgy transcription that when it comes to creating new life, so
zinc's critical for that.
Also, for women who are going to conceive.
They need good zinc levels.
Zinc's imperative for white blood cells.
Leukocyte activity doesn't really happen properly without good zinc levels.
It's also very anti-viral.
Then more recently, I've discovered the power of zinc when it comes to neurotransmitters,
so zinc really aids people with anxiety to a huge degree, and also depression.
Zinc, B6, and magnesium is the classic triad, which we call the glucose tolerance factors,
so having enough zinc in your body also stops you from snacking on crappy food because it
helps to regulate your blood sugar to a higher degree.
Now, you can start to see how excited I am about zinc.
I think it's a real good thing to have in your diet.
There you have it.
Is zinc carnosine good?
It's real good, but get your zinc tested, all right.
Have a great day.
