    Zinc Neutralizes PUFAs (polyunsaturated Fats) In Vivo, Is Necessary For Weight Loss And Liver Lipid

    I have gone through three different periods of supplementing zinc. Each time I experienced loss of unwanted fat, increase in muscle mass, disappearance or reduction of the squiggly lines in my vision, and a more consistent stability of my warmth (paired with a restraint of my sweat response). I...

    Zinc Reduces Ammonia

    Several human studies and some animals ones. Keep in mind that most of the human patients had severe liver disease and as such their ammonia levels were quite high (some people were in coma). As such, the high doses of zinc used in those studies (150mg-200mg elemental zinc per day) are probably...

    Zinc Reduces Nitric Oxide (NO) Levels In Humans

    The dose was 100mg elemental zinc for 3 months. Zinc inhibited NO synthesis from arginine. Combined with magnesium, zinc could be a viable alternative to methylene blue - magnesium for getting NO out of the cell and thus restoring cytochrome C activity, and zinc inhibiting new NO synthesis...

    Balancing Zinc And Copper In The Body

    I'm fairly certain that I have too much copper stored in my body and have for most of my life. I have a lot of the classic symptoms for what some alternative health circles call pyroluria. The recommended treatment is zinc and b6. I have definitely noticed that some negative symptoms go away...

    I was surprised to not find this asked before. Zinc pycolinate seems to be the most common. Zinc glycinate is better absorbed than zinc sulphate, according to this paper.

    Osteoporosis Is Caused By Stress And Estrogen

    I was shocked to find this "editorial" in, of all places, the BMJ since it is known as one of the bastions of modern "medicine" (together with NEJM). I hope this is a good sign that not all allopathic doctors are villains. Either way, it makes for a very interesting read and it reads as if Peat...

    Zinc Acts Similar To Tianeptine And Blocks SSRI Drug Effects

    Basically, the study says that zinc increases serotonin uptake, making it a "SERT" drug acting in a manner opposite to SSRI drugs. The study even compared zinc effects to some well-known SSRI drugs. I thought that was pretty cool, and a possible alternative for people with no access to...

    Adding Milk To Coffee Doesn't Impair Zn-chelating Capacity

    I wondered whether addition of milk to coffee impairs its chelating activity. While I found no studies for iron, I came across one study that found that the chelating capacity of zinc was not impaired. Guess that is good news for all the coffee+milk drinkers. Effect of Roasting on Properties of...

    Zinc - My Miracle For Acne & Estrogen Dominance

    Zinc, Copper, Selenium: Shellfish Vs Cocoa

    Hi everyone, I am not a fan of oysters. The taste and texture repulses me. I do eat prawns once every couple of weeks but that is about it. What I do eat a lot of is cocoa (90% cocoa chocolate to be precise). I always have it with coffee to stop the iron absorption. That is how I get my zinc...

    Pyroluria

    Has anyone heard of pyroluria or the methylation cycle. People who have this disorder are unable to make serotonin efficently due to issues with their methylation cycle. Are these people, then the lucky ones?
