"Some info on Zinc for you all to read!!!"


Zinc plays a vital role during pregnancy, and because of that, the dosage taken during pregnancy should be increased. It has been proven that low zinc levels are associated with premature births, low birth weight, growth retardation, and preeclampsia--a serious condition of pregnancy associated with elevations in blood pressure, fluid retention, and loss of protein in the urine. A study was conducted of African-American women who had relatively low plasma zinc levels early in pregnancy. The women were given either a placebo or 25 milligrams of zinc in the form of zinc sulfate, and a daily prenatal vitamin/mineral tablet that contained folic acid, iron, and other minerals but no zinc. The results showed that the babies from the zinc-supplemented group had greater body weight and head circumferences than the placebo group. Zinc supplementation at higher dosages during pregnancy is critical for the baby's health.

Zinc also works wonders on the immune system, especially for fighting the common cold. Zinc works like vitamin C and uses its antiviral activity against several viruses that cause the common cold. A double-blind clinical trial demonstrated zinc-containing lozenges significantly reduced the average duration of common colds by 7 days. As you can see, lozenges containing zinc are miracle workers, which accounts for their increasing popularity.

Hello

Thought I would tell you about Magnesium. I had really bad cramps and used to wake up in agony with leg cramp and toe cramp with Paige. It was Awful.
I also had problems with my skin with exczema flare ups and odd rashes.

This time on advice from a Naturopath Lady I have been taking every day Solgars Magnesium and I take a Mineral Supp which has Zinc plus a few other goodies in it.

I have had no cramps and no rashes or bad exczema!!

Its great and worthwhile looking at.
