Hello and welcome to another episode of
Kyäni Wellness TV. This is Dr. Andreas
Boettcher, member of the Scientific
Advisory Board here at Kyäni, and in
today's episode, we're gonna be talking
about zinc, but not just any form of zinc,
why it's so important, and why we
included it in our FIT20 performance
protein. Stay tuned!
You know, zinc is an absolutely critical
mineral that the majority of the
population is deficient in–as high as
maybe 60%. Some say yes, some say no, but
here's the one challenge with zinc that
you all must know. (Hey that rhymed!) And
that is this: your body does not have an
ability to retain zinc, and it's very
easily lost through sweat,
hence why the deficiency can occur.
Now of course you want a diet that's
gonna be rich in naturally-occurring
zinc, because as you know, if you've been
following any of our episodes, you can't
out supplement a bad diet. However, with
that being said, there are some
incredible reasons why supplementation
is absolutely paramount if you want to
reach optimal levels of health, and of
course as the picture shows here, you can
find zinc in a variety of different food
sources. However, there are some different
forms of zinc that you actually must
consider. Now before I break them down,
let's talk about how important this is,
because as we talked about the
deficiencies and the benefits, you'll
start to understand why this mineral is
so important. Well it can result in
changes in appetite and include cravings
for salt and sweet foods. Hmm I wonder if
any of you might have that. Changes
in ability to taste and smell, weight gain,
or loss hair loss, digestive problems,
including diarrhea, chronic fatigue
syndrome, infertility, or hormone problems,
including worsen PMS symptoms, menopause
symptoms, lower immunity, poor
concentration or memory, slowed ability
to heal wounds, skin infections, or
irritation, and nerve dysfunction, and
again like I did here on our previous
episode on magnesium, I wonder how many
people are being prescribed medications
because of these very symptoms when it
could be as simple as a zinc deficiency.
It really could be just that simple,
because here are the benefits of zinc:
they significantly support the immune
system by helping you to fight off
viruses and bacteria, it helps to create
DNA in every single cell, and if you're
working out and doing fitness, you're
looking to get the most from your
fitness amd DNA
controls cellular replication. It's
critical to hormone synthesis in
balanced thyroid progesterone and
testosterone, and it doesn't cease to
amaze me how many people are being
prescribed HRT or even by identical
hormones without even knowing if there
is just a simple a zinc deficiency,
magnesium deficiency, maybe even vitamin
D deficiency or omega-3s, and the list
goes on. There are so many vital
micronutrients that are critical to
hormone balance and health. They are
central during growth and development of
babies and children. My son is always
on me: give me more zinc, give me more
zinc, as he wants to grow, all right, a
little side note there. Is it that simple?
No. Is there mixed results in that? Yes.
But it is directly involved in growth
hormone, and that is something very
important to consider, especially when
you think about fit performance
protein that we've created
here at Kyäni, because we want to help
you to maximize the body's natural
ability to be healthy, to be well, and to
maximize hormonal levels, and prove
how quickly and how well wounds can heal,
supports protein synthesis, this is so
important to understanding how and why
we've put this into our protein product,
because it actually helps you to
assimilate the amino acids like
magnesium does and to help you to
generate the vital protein that is so
essential for muscle repair and for
recovery. It helps to prevent age-related
vision loss naturally, helps to stabilize
blood sugar, very important with anyone
on a type of weight loss goal, maybe a
diabetes history looking to naturally
help get off of insulin. Type 2 is one of
the most easily reverse conditions in
the planet by just simply getting to an
ideal weight and maintaining healthy
nutrition, healthy food. Helps to combat
high blood pressure, boost fertility in
some, and helping to boost athletic
performance through improved muscle
repair. Again, another reason why
we've put zinc into a formula, but not
just any zinc, okay. What we're talking
about is zinc aspartate. This is a
highly bioavailable form; it's an immune
boosting form. It's a micro
minerals zinc. Now, it is a chelated
version, so that basically means it makes
it more bioavailable and more easily
absorbed. Ss with all chelated
minerals, high bioavailability is
probably because of the gentleness on
the gastrointestinal tract because some
people have supplemented with zinc do
complain potentially of having diarrhea
as a result, so it's very gentle on the
stomach and it's very easily absorbed.
now L-Aspartate is a protein amino
found in all forms of life. This is
not harmful. There's nothing dangerous
about it, its a particular type of amino
acid; it's a dicarboxyl amino acid
found in small amounts in bodily fluids.
They can synthesize L-Aspartate,
which makes non-essential amino acid.
L-Aspartate serves as a precursor for
the synthesis of proteins, this is the number
one reason why we've added this to our
FIT20 performance protein.
Oligopeptides, purines, pyrimidines,
pyrimidines, nucleic acids, and l-arginine,
which we've talked about in its ability
to help boost natural levels of nitric
oxide. It's also essential for the
proper function of the body and for
energy production within the cell. It is
absolutely critical in mitochondrial
function and in the synthesis of ATP.
It's naturally present in the body,
and any deficiency will lead to serious
disturbance in normal bodily functions,
so it's very important, obviously, without
stating the obvious, why we need to have
zinc in the body. Now it does stimulate
protein synthesis, which is what I want
to focus on with today's video and
understanding why we put it into our
product. It acts as an antioxidant and is 
involved in some of the most biochemically
decisive reactions in the body, including
protein synthesis, enzymatic function, and
carbohydrate metabolism. Again, back to
stabilizing blood sugars. People that
have been using our FIT20 have talked
about how it seriously has helped with
their recovery, their performance, their
stamina, their endurance, and reduced
their needs for sugar or cravings as a
result.
Since the mineral is involved in so many
integral systems and functions in the body,
this cannot be stressed enough that you must
include zinc as a daily part of your
diet. It also regulates cell growth.
Zinc is a central component in the
number of enzymes that help regulate
cell growth, protein synthesis, hormonal
levels, DNA, DNA transcription, energy
metabolism, and other related functions.
it's vitally
important.
It goes
without saying! Now, in terms of hormonal
balance, and this is somewhat on a personal
note, back in
2017, two years ago from the time of
this video; this is now July of 2019 as
I'm shooting this, I'll be honest with
you, my own hormone levels were out of
whack and I wonder if that was due to my
fitness show where I dieted so hard to
get down to three percent body fat, which
I arguably tell you is not healthy by
the way, so I don't do them regularly at
all by any means, I just wanted to see
what was possible at the age of forty
seven back then. I'm 49 now, and my total
testosterone was incredibly low. I was
about two hundred and sixteen and I just
recently had it retested and it's now
well over 960 at my age of 49 and that
didn't use HRT, I didn't use bioidentical,
I use what's in our Healthy Living Hub–a
complex of heavy weight training, fitness,
maintaining healthy body weight, healthy
micronutrients, supplementation, taking
care of the mitochondria, taking care of
the telomeres, taking care of the
essential minerals that are so important
for hormonal health and well-being, and
then retesting them. It's something
that I retest on a regular basis to see
if I'm moving the needle and going in
the right direction. It's two or three
hundred dollars, I pay out of pocket, it's
well spent. I recommend you do
basic labs every six months. Get your
lipid profile done, get your hormone
levels done, get your vitamin D tested,
get your omega-3 levels tested, measure
your inflammatory markers like your
homocysteine, your CRP, your il-6, all of
those things are basic and interval, and
those are the numbers I look at and
liver function ast and alt;
you want to basically look at how
the vital systems are functioning and of
course your kidney function–creatinine
clearance, those are basic labs, and I
strongly encourage
that you do these because so many people
are being put on medications today
without getting the foundational
nutrition that is even found in our
products, because this is one important
point that I want to make: You have to
get what we've put together in our
products from somewhere. We've just made
it a very convenient way for you to do
it. I've been asking audiences around
the world they're not getting in enough
fruits and vegetables and antioxidants
and minerals to sustain normal life.
There's no wonder that things go awry
the more we eat processed food, processed junk,
processed carbohydrates, lots of alcohol,
smoking, and the list goes on. Not to
mention not exercising, not eating
properly, and yet we run to the doctor
and we wonder why things aren't working.
So I challenge you to really gain
control of your health and start giving
your body the tools that it needs– hat
inner pharmacy. Our products here at
Kyäni are designed to help support your
inner pharmacy by giving you the vital
micronutrients, the antioxidants, the
polyphenols, the bioflavonoids, the
minerals, and all of the most cleanest,
pure sources to allow your body to
function properly. When you do that
and you combine it with Healthy Living,
you are going to be ahead of 90% of the
people out there that aren't even doing
the basics. So if you're not, be
honest with yourself and I challenge you
to take part in our Healthy Living Hub
and our community. Enjoy our products, our
coaching, our support, our meal plans, our
fitness, our workouts, to help you on your
path to Healthy Living. Because when you
look at zinc, getting back to what we're
talking about here today, sorry if I
digress, but I just want to help you, and
I'm tired of seeing people in this country
being overmedicated and nothing's being
treated, nothing's ever being fixed, only
symptoms are being suppressed. Meanwhile,
you're just getting sicker and then
eventually you get side
effects from all of the stuff that
you've been taking and you still haven't
even addressed the underlying cause of
the problem. Zinc benefits hormonal
health and fertility because it plays an
important role in hormone production
itself, including increasing testosterone
naturally, which has been very widespread
both roles men and women, I'm not gonna leave
you out ladies. Zinc also impacts female
sex hormones and is even involved in the
creation and release of eggs within and
from the ovaries. It is needed for the
production of estrogen and progesterone
in women, which both support reproductive
health. So I hope you're starting to
understand and see why this is so
important, and why we've decided to put
this together with other powerful
ingredients, all of which I've broken
down here for you on Kyäni Wellness TV.
Feel free to do all of your homework, do
all of your own research, make all of
your own decisions, know that we're here
