Zinc is a powerful trace mineral. Trace minerals are nutrients you need in small amounts. One of the many benefits is it can help you get deeper sleep.
Zinc is a cofactor. A cofactor is something that helps in the activation of enzymes, which are proteins. These protein machines help build tissue, detoxify the body, and many other things. Overall, zinc is involved in 300 different enzymes.
Zinc is also involved in over 1000 transcription factors. A transcription factor is something that will turn certain genes on and off at the right time. This is at a cellular DNA level.
If you have a zinc deficiency, you can experience:
• Decreased growth
• Hypogonadism
• Reduced taste and smell
• Poor immune function.
Zinc plays a vital role in neurotransmitters, especially in the area of the brain called the locus coeruleus. This area of the brain is involved in the sleep-wake cycle. It also helps with the metabolism of melatonin, which is why zinc has a calming effect.
If you take zinc, make sure you take it in the evening and not in the morning. I recommend chelated zinc supplements. You can also get zinc from oysters and other foods. A high-carb diet can lower your zinc, especially when you eat a lot of grains.
If you want to get better sleep, try taking zinc.
