Why is Zinc Important?
If you subtract iron from haemoglobin, zinc is the most abundant trace element in the human body, part of over 300 enzymes. Like iron, zinc is present in the range of 2–4 g. For comparison: the total body content of the third most abundant trace element, copper, amounts to merely 100 mg.
Unlike iron, the body does not have large, rapidly mobilisable reserves for zinc. The zinc that is readily available amounts to only 100–200 mg. Some organs such as the pancreas, the kidney or the spleen can release zinc rapidly – the predominant portion of zinc, however, is found in the musculature and in the bones, where it can only be mobilised very slowly.
This means that access to these zinc reserves does not occur quickly enough to compensate for suboptimal zinc intake. Due to this peculiarity (large zinc reserves, actually only a small portion available for use), deficiency symptoms rapidly arise if daily zinc intake is insufficient.
Zinc has its hand in numerous chemical reactions. It is a component of an enormous variety of enzymes and so-called transcription factors that contain a 'zinc finger domain', such as p53, known as the 'anti-cancer protein'.
The tumour suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that contains a single zinc ion near its DNA-binding site. Zn(2+) is required for site-specific DNA binding and correct transcriptional activation. In addition to its functional significance, zinc plays a crucial role in determining whether p53 folds productively or misfolds.
Further examples of zinc-dependent enzymes are alcohol dehydrogenase, which is involved in alcohol breakdown in the liver, and alkaline phosphatase, which is involved in the formation of bone substance. Pancreatic carboxypeptidase in the small intestine, required for protein digestion, also requires zinc. Lastly, hormone receptors frequently bind zinc because they must interact with DNA. This hormone-DNA interaction is stabilised by zinc ions.
In general, zinc is involved in almost everything to do with proteins. It helps proteins bind to DNA. It helps proteins to fold correctly and to interact with other proteins (dimerisation), it regulates protein synthesis itself at the cellular and hormonal level. Zinc therefore, in summary, regulates all processes related to growth.

Our edubily® Zinc Complex
To ensure the best possible zinc absorption in the intestine, we have developed a special nutrient formula. It consists of a three-phase model:
- With zinc glycinate, citrate and gluconate, we use the best zinc compounds available. These are the zinc compounds that perform best in studies.
- We deliberately use three different, organic compounds that – similar to in our magnesium complex – target multiple absorption pathways. Zinc glycinate, for example, enters the body via the amino acid transporter in the intestine and thus avoids many inhibitory effects of other food components.
- We add a matrix of essential amino acids. Amino acids and protein in general, histidine, cysteine and methionine in particular, massively promote zinc absorption and distribution in the body.
Our Zinc Complex is an enormously popular product that has received a great deal of positive feedback over the years.

Mit edubily® – Die Biochemie des Lebens verstehen
Mit dem Wissen aus der Biochemie wollen wir Menschen dabei helfen ihr volles Potential auszuschöpfen. Wir sind zwei Freunde, die es sich zum Ziel gesetzt haben, Menschen tiefe Einblicke in ihre Gesundheit zu geben. Wir wollen zeigen, dass es jedem von uns möglich ist, selbst etwas dafür zu tun, um möglichst lange gesund und fit zu bleiben. Aus unserer Sicht reicht es hierfür oft schon aus, wenn man bereit ist, Gesundheit verstehen zu lernen und sich gesund zu ernähren. Oft kommt es aber vor, dass in unserer modernen Ernährung wichtige Nahrungsstoffe fehlen. Deshalb liegt unser zweites Augenmerk auf der Entwicklung sinnvoller und vernünftiger, d. h., wirksamer Nahrungsergänzungsmittel.
