The purpose of the products is to underpin the basic principles of our treatment concept at the Clinic of Integrative Medicine to ensure correct voltage (transmembrane potential) and a balanced flow of energy in the body
You are electric. Your body is an electrical system, and the function of all cells is 100% dependent on the functioning of your electrical system and the uninterrupted communication. Essential electromagnetic communication in the body is affected by all electric fields, such as the Earth's own "frequencies", solar radiation and mobile phones. Therefor we also offer a wide range of EMF protective technologies.

Zinc is a mineral that stimulates the activity of approximately 300 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body.1,2 These reactions are essential for the formation of superoxide dismutase, one of the body’s most important free radical scavengers. Zinc also promotes immune function,3-6 taste sensitivity,7-9 protein and DNA synthesis,1,10,11 insulin production,12,13 reproductive organ development and sperm motility.14-16 Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.17-19
Maintaining adequate levels of zinc is equally important to aging adults.20-22 As people grow older, their immune function declines, partly due to the decreasing size and function of the thymus gland. Evidence suggests that zinc may help to maintain healthy function of the thymus gland in elderly people. 23 Scientists have also found evidence that a zinc deficiency in elderly adults may contribute to impaired immune function with aging, or immunosenescence.24-26 These findings suggest that zinc plays a critical role in supporting healthy immune function with age.
Zinc Lozenges provide premium-grade zinc as gluconate and oxide in a pleasant citrus-orange naturally flavored tablet.
