Researchers from the University of Leicester discovered that Zinc plays a key role in regulating the way Calcium moves in the heart cells. Zinc is present in heart muscle and interacts with Calcium to affect heart function.

Zinc in the Human Body

Zinc is the most common mineral in the human body beside iron. Zinc is actually found in every cell. Past research has shown patients with congestive heart failure often have a profound zinc deficiency. Zinc has potent antioxidant properties, which help to neutralize free radicals that may accelerate aging and contribute to the development of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.

Zinc’s Impact on Cardiac Health

In addition to essential metabolic functions, the level of zinc in the body also affects the heart muscle. When oxidative stress occurs, it may be due to a shortage of zinc, which can be determined by examining the heart muscle. Studies by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) show the relationship between the total amount of zinc in the body and cardiac function.

Symptoms and Effects of Zinc Deficiency

Zinc deficiency initially appears as symptoms on the skin, hair, and fingernails, although it can progress to include reduced immune response and organ failure, including the heart. Heart palpitations have numerous causes, including many benign ones, but they may indicate early signs of heart failure.

Zinc’s Protective Effects

Zinc appears to have protective effects in coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathy. In such states, replenishing zinc has been shown to improve cardiac function and prevent further damage.

And we thought zinc is used only for galvanizing.

Zinc Production in India

Hindustan Zinc is India’s only and the world’s leading integrated zinc-lead-silver producer.

This is another example of the usage of zinc.

We all have zinc in our lives.
