        Now, "zinc patching" has become the people after calcium, concern and a hot topic. Whether the children, pregnant period of the mother, busy white-collar, or physical big as before the old man, seems to be thinking about way "zinc patching". Research shows that, with zinc supplementation to prevent a cold effect, the patients first appear in the nose, sore throat and symptoms of a cold within 24 hours, taking syrup zinc supplementation agent, can reduce the symptoms of a cold, most of the patients in one week would recover. The study also found that, continuous zinc supplementation five months above the children, little cold, is not easy to get sick. Especially in spring, when the influenza, mumps, herpes zoster, tuberculosis, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, encephalitis b, viruses or bacterial infection epidemic discharge ChengXiong diarrhea, appropriate to children supplements zinc food, can enhance the body's immune and disease resistance "skill".

        Zinc is one of the important human body trace element, second only to the content of iron. Zinc in the human body be fusion protein and nucleic acid in the cell membrane,, especially the body more than 100 kinds of enzymes containing zinc, called enzymes containing zinc. Enzymes containing zinc is amino acid metabolism and protein synthesis material, after the zinc deficiency can cause reduced protein synthesis, which affect the cell division proliferation; Zinc can promote growth and development, especially for the growth and development of children and adolescents and quickly youth is important; Zinc and vitamin A metabolic close ties to vitamin A in the body of the zinc deficiency after A reduction in vitamin A lack of synthesis; Zinc participate in immune function, on the immune function with nutrition and adjust action, so after zinc deficiency can cause cellular immune function decline, the body resistance decreased ability. Zinc can promote the thymus release the thymus element, improvement or ascension T lymphocytes attack, kill pathogenic microbes action, so that the body with less variety of "infectious diseases. If zinc at low levels vulnerable to taste, smell obstacles, memory is low, the loss of appetite or movement disorders, appear chronic fatigue, different eosinophilic or "time".

        Although infantile anorexia, zinc deficiency can lead to slow growing, adult body resistance down, skin wound healing slowly issues, but zinc as a kind of trace elements, the demand for every day is not big. Research shows that, 0 ~ 6 months of baby every day just need to 1.5 mg zinc, 7 to 12 months of baby for 8 milligram, then increase with age, the increasing demand of zinc slow, to 14 ~ 18 years old to the highest amount and mg. Once after 18 years old, the human body to zinc demand will fall, every day just need to intake 11.5 mg is enough. The expert reminds, take zinc too much can cause people vomit, headache, diarrhea, convulsive wait for a symptom, and may damage the brain neurons, cause memory loss. In addition, in body, zinc content too high, may be to suppress the absorption of iron and copper, iron deficiency anemia and cause. Therefore, to clear whether zinc, the best way is to go to hospital for a blood test zinc, follow the doctor's diagnosis, not blindly zinc supplementation.

        Zinc in many foods are there, therefore, as long as normal diet, general won't appear zinc deficiency problems. Only a serious long-term, vegetarian, prandial collocation is undeserved, not all nutrients, and diarrhea, vomiting, not discharge movement or carry momentum deficiencies are should be included in the "lack zinc" groups. Zinc supplementation mainly through the dietary supplement, food contains zinc amount more food have oysters, roe artisan alley, animal liver and kidney, peanut, egg yolk and nuts, as long as you eat any more at ordinary times the food, the human body will not happen zinc phenomenon, even if has zinc, also will soon filled. For the serious lack zinc will tell children, should be in the doctor, under the guidance of the rational use of drugs zinc supplementation. Research shows that, at the same time with zinc patching a calcium supplement iron two kinds of minerals, can promote the absorption of zinc and use, to speed up the recovery, because the three elements have synergy.
