Unless you know your cell permeability you can be weakening your immune defense!
Zinc can deplete your cell membranes leaving your immune system exposed.

Did you know Zinc CAN do harm in excess?

Let me explainโ€ฆ

If you already have a high level of Zinc, it can induce anger or violent tendencies. It can also play an integral part in regulating your Sodium to Potassium ratio known as your cell permeability. If your cells are too permeable, it is comparable to leaving your front door open for the elements, bugs, or critters that dare venture in. Beneficial minerals are able to depart much like your homeโ€™s heat. Viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, and the like can move in and cause long-term issues without the cell barrier in place. Those with high cell permeability will often have a fast metabolism. Frequently these clients will have allergies, hormone disruption, or glucose enter oneโ€™s cells easily causing reactive hypoglycemia, fluctuating energy levels up and down, like a roller coaster.

Too much Zinc can lower Copper levels (fights bacteria) and your Sodium to Potassium ratio (cell membrane health). Understanding this ratio is the most important information on a hair analysis because if you have toxic levels being stored in tissues or organs, it will not be eliminated at the optimal level. Visually one may see a mineral deficiency and want to take a Zinc supplement, but that is NOT the answer. Looking deeper into the root cause as to why it is low (due to another mineral or a deficiency) is crucial to determine specific needs. A high Zinc level can even cause you to have low HDL (good) cholesterol.

Using corrective supplements targeted to your chemistry needs can rebuild the protective cell wall for defenses and proper cellular exchange!

Why do we need Zinc daily in our diet and how can you tell if there is an imbalance?
