Benefits
Vitamin C plays multiple roles in many biochemical reactions in the body.* It is known as a redox agent, able to undergo reversible reduction‐oxidation reactions, which allows it to donate electrons in enzymatic reactions.* It also acts as a co‐factor in the biosynthesis of
neurotransmitters and neuropeptides.* Its chemical structure makes it an excellent antioxidant, allowing it to neutralize free radicals.* Vitamin C is also essential to collagen synthesis and connective tissue integrity and helps regulate iron and folic acid levels.*
Zinc functions as a co‐factor for nearly 100 different enzymes.* Zinc is also an indispensable structural element for certain proteins.* Its presence contributes to the unique 3‐dimensional shape of these proteins.* A protein’s biological function often depends on its unique 3‐D shape; therefore, any shape alteration due to a modification of its zinc content might affect the function of these proteins.* Some of these proteins have roles in gene regulation as DNA binding transcription factors.* Zinc is also involved in cell signaling, hormone release, and apoptosis and is required for T‐cell differentiation.* Zinc also appears to play particularly important role in prostate health, where zinc levels are at least 10 times higher than in other soft tissues.* Due to its ubiquitous involvement in metabolic processes, mild zinc deficiency is hard to recognize because it lacks specific symptoms that may include general malaise, impaired immunity, and
tissue repair.*
