How Zinc Can Help With Fatigue

Life can be filled with responsibilities that can trigger fatigue. Research has shown that zinc can help combat that yawning.

No matter how hard we try, it seems we still have hectic lives with a combination of family and work obligations.  This means fatigue can peak right around the mid afternoon and that’s usually the time when we reach for another cup of coffee for that quick burst of energy.

For those who do suffer from fatigue, they know all too well how it hinders their potential from being at their very best when it comes to their overall daily performance and ability to make decisions.

Fatigue has a variety of symptoms such as:

The good news is that zinc can help with fatigue issues and give you more energy throughout the day.  And not just any zinc, but specifically zinc from premium oyster powder. If possible, avoid synthetic zinc made in laboratories.  Instead, find a marine-based supplement which offers the most natural form of zinc.

Also, finding an organic premium oyster powder that is 100 percent bio-available is super important.  

Simply, bio-available defines a substance such as a drug or supplement which is absorbed by the body.  It will soak up the nutrients which will move into the bloodstream. 

Oysters possess the largest amounts of zinc.  Yes, even higher than red meat.  A high quality oyster powder supplement is potent and packs a boost of effective results.

In addition to fatigue, a lack of zinc in the diet may also include:

  • Premature aging
  • Low libido
  • Prostate challenges
  • Compromised immunity
  • Macular degeneration

 

Oyster powder can also encourage the healthy growth and maintenance of hair, skin and nails.

Often described as one of the most important minerals in the body, it really promotes body enzyme activity. 

The ocean is rich with nutrients.  And adding a premium oyster powder into your diet is a wise decision because it’s such a natural choice. 

An exceptional oyster powder will also have elements of zinc co-factors, such as:

  • Manganese
  • Copper
  • Selenium
  • Strontium
  • Silicon

 

All these trace ingredients are considered as “superoxide dismutases” which are filled with antioxidants and ward off free radicals.

As with adding any new supplement to a diet, please consult with your health care professional to discuss things such as dosage amounts.

While zinc from oysters can help with your fatigue, as many can attest to, it can help with a host of so many other health issues.
