Product Focus: ACES +Zinc

Immune support has understandably been a top health priority for many of us over the past 2 years. And while well-known herbs like echinacea and nutrients like vitamin D have taken much of the spotlight, some cornerstone vitamins and minerals have been overlooked for their essential roles in proper immune function. This is the basis of Cyto-Matrix’s A.C.E.S.+Zinc.

A.C.E.S.+Zinc is named for the nutrients found in the formulation: vitamins A, C and E, selenium and zinc. It is a key immune product but with many more health benefits and indications:

• Immune Function: Not only are these nutrients important for boosting immune function (ie cold and flu prevention), but most of them are potent antivirals that can be a great intervention during acute and chronic viral infections.
• Male Infertility: Fertility concerns in men are most commonly a result of free radical damage and mitochondrial disruption due to environmental exposures. These nutrients are antioxidants that can improve both sperm count and sperm function. 
• Progesterone Support: Research has shown that Vitamins C and E, alone and in combination, are capable of increasing blood levels of progesterone in women. Animal studies have found the same for selenium supplementation.
• Thyroid Support: Selenium is well-known for its role in properly converting T4 into the more active thyroid hormone T3 and zinc is beneficial for improving thyroid receptor sensitivity.
• Skin health: Environmental factors always need to be considered when it comes to skin concerns, but acne vulgaris, acne rosacea, psoriasis and eczema are just some of the conditions that have research support for the nutrients in A.C.E.S.+Zinc.
• Tissue healing: A.C.E.S.+Zinc helps to regulate the production of collagen which is an essential portion of skin, bone and structural tissues. Post-fracture healing, wound healing and post-surgery recovery can all benefit. 
• General Antioxidant Support: As powerful antioxidants, the nutrients in A.C.E.S.+Zinc can be used to offset free radical damage and prevent cellular damage in cases of sun exposure, X-rays, radiation and so on.
